I just got this mail from Rsrikanth05, who is handling an event at NIT
Trichy. He has some important things to note about the event, awaiting some
replies and help!

Forward this to the list and the Chapter, we need a plan ASAP.

I spoke to Saagar today.
Here are the main issues:
Plan: We need a plan of action, and we need it fast.
I was asked if this was a contest or a workshop, to which I stated that it
was a Workshop.

Here are the key points we discussed:

1> Date/Day/Schedule: The event is spread over four days, and is jam
packed. We need to schedule it properly, and get a follow up mechanism in
place.
2> ISO certification: Pragyaan is the fourth Technical fest in India to get
ISO certification. Because of this, the organisers, have to sign an MoU
with the organiser/promoter of each individual event. I believe the chapter
needs to do something about this. The main purpose of this is to show that
the event is taking place and to promote it.
3> Swags: I was suggested that we have a small trivia session thru the
session and give out same Laptop stickers/tees/etc.
4> Accommodation: This is really tight. We need to inform the number of
participants beforehand to make sure that we can get accommodation.

I know Bala won't be able to make it. What about other Community members -
Chennai, Coimbatore, Salem, Bangalore, Kerala?

Do remember, this is NIT Trichy. A BIG event. I believe Tinu and Logic had
done something at NITT earlier. Hoping that they would do it this time as
well.

Hoping for a response soon.
