I think it's better to give it more time so that we can better prepare it. But the problem of having it between semesters is that we loose the chance of marketing in universities, which I think is major. I have a feeling that it would be hard to have everything ready in 20 days, but still, if this is what everybody agrees to, I hope we can make it. > > > The best place we could think of is JEA.

I'm also betting that there will be a lot of professionals form the IT world. I see a lot of interest recently. Email forwards should do the trick, and a facebook group would be a nice idea. Once we set the date/time, I will have the facebook thing sorted out. > > > Task C.2. We need help in making a quick design for a brochour that can > be placed every where?
