Linux India announces participation in Bang!inux, 26/27 Feb
-----------------------------------------------------------

Linux India will be participating in the exhibition associated with the
Bang!inux event, being held on 26/27 February at the IISc in Bangalore.
    
The exhibition area alloted to LI is being given free of cost as a
gesture to the Linux community of India by the organisers (Wrox
Publishing).
    
    The area alloted includes exhibition space (approx 200 sq feet) as
well as a 60 seater auditorium for talks about Linux, technical Linux
topics, install demos, etc.
    
    See http://www.linux-india.org/events/banglinux/ for a floorplan,
more details and photos will appear there shortly. Details about the
event are at http://www.linux-conference.com 
    
    LI needs volunteers (about 20) to man the stall area and to
demonstrate various aspects of Linux. The format will be similar to that
of Bangalore IT.COM, but on a smaller scale.
    
    A detailed brief will be given at the ILUG-Bangalore meet on
Saturday (19th Feb) at Hotel Ashraya, Infantry Road (Opposite to Police
Commissioner's office) at 6:15 pm. The brief will start at 6:30pm SHARP,
and the meet will end by 8:30pm. Cover charge for snacks/coffee will be
Rs.65 per head as usual.
    
    If you are interested in volunteering, please be there. Be there
even if you are *not* interested in volunteering - be there with ideas
and suggestions.
    
    Time permitting, the meet will also have a demonstration of
installing Linux with a SiS 6215c card using FrameBuffer Device and the
usual Q&A session.
