Hi,

I have been contacted by the wrox ppl. They are offering a 30% discount to
members of LUGs. Currently, they are making arrangements with Hyderabad, Chennai
and Bangalore LUGs. Contact dilipt@xxxxxxxx for more details or if you want your
LUG included in this scheme.

Just FYI, this years talks are aimed at professional programmers rather than
students. I suspect that is why the rates are much higher than last year.

I was there last year. I would say it's good if you are interested in seeing
some famous faces. I am doubtful about how much you can *learn* in such a short
time. It was good fun though.

regards,

Biju
