Planning meetings

Kickoff- february- Ramesh, Rajan & Rajat

The initial ideas took shape here.

 

March 30, 2006. IIIT. 3pm.

 

Had a good discussion today around the event logistics. Key points discussed:

1. Venue: The Keane school hall doesnt have a/c. So we settled for the Main block seminar hall (a smaller and simpler one- but has a/c). We will retain the Keane school hall also as a back up (just in case, over 100 peopole turn up :-) ) action- Sunil

2. Network- both the halls have regular network cable. Can be used to wi-fi enable, if we get a router (as teh campus wi-fi network is secured). I will get my wireless router. Ramesh

3. Snacks & Tea- to be ordered from IIIT mess. Tea every hour and snacks one. Sponsored by Advetta & Kern-comm. Follow up- Sunil

4. Dinner- we will order pizzas from Dominoes. And soft drinks, chips and such from the IIIT cafeteria. Total cost- arund 5-6k. Rajat

5. Banner- need a stage-backdrop banner for the event. To explore possibilities & cost. Ramesh

6. Video link to chennai- Will explore WebEx [Ramesh/Chandru]

6. Sessions: We identified confirmed sessions so far (about 10- Jay, Rajan, Pramati-1or2, Ramesh, Progress-1. Anandha/Cordys, Dr.Kamal/IIIT, Ripul/Kern, Sumeet/Yahoo, Tarun/IIIT ). We can accept a few more short sessions. Few more tentative sessions including one from Microsoft. At this point we are looking at 20 minute sessions, followed by a short Q&A. Action to finalize the schedule- Rajan
