We have enough OSS enthusiasts who'd be willing to volunteer and complete cooperation from administration. We were having our mid-sem break when the ILUG-D meeting took place so the college was totally deserted, there were no students and only few faculty which is why only the coordinators of our LUG attended the meeting. Secondly we do have the Andrew's back breaking work and his department > involved with OSS. If a senior member of faculty is fully involved > from JIIT in LUG activities it becomes easier. We have complete support of our Vice Chancellor- Prof. J.P. Gupta < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, CSE/IT H.O.D - Sh. Sanjay Goel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Open Source Departmental Special Interest Group (DSIG) coordinator Mr. Arun Chaturvedi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I am the Technical Society Head of our JIIT Youth Club <jiityouthclub.org>, Coordinator of OSS DSIG and Founder & Coordinator of JIITU-LUG. We conduct our annual techno-cultural festival - JIVE <jive05.com, jive06.com, jive07.com> everywhere at a very big scale. They want students to be involved in such activities, though we can arrange a meeting with them to discuss this. > As someone who has been involved with many of the ILUG-D events my > outlook would be that while your idea of holding a large event is > welcome there has to be some more work.

I totally agree on this. Dr. Andrew suggested that we have a satellite event instead of making JIIT the venue for the main event for Freed.in 2008 and then think of the prospects of having the main event here.
