All the best. BTW, does the college of engineering cover courses like MCA offered by the University? If not, can you please ensure that the college that offeres those courses in the University is also covered? Better yet, if you can make this as Visakhapatnam Open Solaris User Group, to cover colleges like GITAM. TIA. BTW, I am in Hyderabad and please let me know if you need any logistics help. The moderators and project owners of the proposed UG are welcome to join Hyderabad OSUG.
