hall.. I've managed to book it already, with aswath, all facilities guarenteed! lab maintainance comes much later, once we grow in strength, as does e-libs etc. This one should be linux only, I think ... I think we can have a session on the life cycle of programs, viz, editing,compiling,debugging,profiling this time. Or we take up one of mm,process management and have an indepth session on that, based on linux I can do the mm thingy. one can also have networking stuff like DNS working/setting up, POP/SMTP etc. -- P On Fri, 13 Feb 2004, TC, PAVAN wrote: > > Hi ppl, > > This is regarding the planned march meet at BIT. > We have another 15 days to go.
