It can be a part of the gnus grazing that we started.. Sessions can be done
out of the class timings by 4:30 to (The_time_Students_Loose_interest ||
the_time_Lab_closes) :P
We can easily use the vacant labs at CSE or IT for this and for many other
things that we have planned.
What we are planning to do is to have general basics for language computing
such as unicode and all and to gain a developer level experience over
malayalam computing softwares.
Happy Hacking
