Open source and Thamizh

["Pichai Asokan" <pasokan@xxxxxxx>]

I have received a mail from Dr V Venkataramanan (a physicist working
 Japan now)  who will be in India between April 23 and May 12.
He will be mostly in Bangalore and for a brief visit to madras
He is willing to give a talk here. Let me quote from his mail:
<beginquote>
I plan to give a talk (apart from my research) at IISc about
"Freeware and Opensource movement in Tamil - thus far and further" (in
 tamil and english), will anyone be interested in this talk in chennai
(some institution?)
 <endquote>

 If this interests you please inform me, I will organize a meet.
