	I couldn't possibly agree more with Vikram here ! I have always dreamed of 
having something like this in India and it seems to me that this is the 
right time ! I mean, if we could achieve this level of expertise in Linux , 
don't you guys aout there think that it is time we started pooling our 
resources ( as in time and brains and, of course, knowledge ) for the cause 
of Open Software development ?

	Amen to that !!

	Hey, Vikram, I'm in Chennai too ! I really think we should go right ahead 
cuz I'm sure there are hundreds of people like us out there ( especially 
students ) So let's work for it man !!

	BTW, how about discussing more of this thru private e-mail ?


     And this goes for all you linux-developer-enthusiasts too !!

	Let's do it people !!!

Ravi
