[linux@it.com] Sponsor for the TechTracks at IT.COM secured!

[Raju Mathur <raju@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Impressive.  Great job, Atul!

Whatever the outcome of the show, we need to show our appreciation to
ILUG-Bangalore in some fashion.  Now who's sponsoring that
all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii? :-)

    Atul> All: Several days ago, we had approached BPL for sponsorship
    Atul> for the free TechTracks to be held during Bangalore
    Atul> IT.COM. This evening, before the John Perry Barlow talk, we
    Atul> met them and they committed to total sponsorship without
    Atul> hesitation.

    Atul> With that, we now have India's single largest Linux event in
    Atul> full roar - with massive stalls at the IT.COM exhibition,
    Atul> sponsored by PC Quest, dozens of Linux-related talks at the
    Atul> prestigious J.N.Tata auditorium, sponsored by BPL, equipment
    Atul> sponsored by IBM and several other vendors and the hard work
    Atul> of the Linux Community members, who are working hard on
    Atul> exhibits, talks, logistics, etc.
