hi,

Thank you Rahul for that mail.

I'm still trying to get better bandwidth at the venue for the remote
remote presentation. (The college had made bandwidth arrangements for
our tech-fest ). I am trying to cajole the Department HOD into getting
it done for us. It is uphill work, since authorities are reluctant to
make any efforts for *any thing* that has no monetary benefit (sadly). I
will know for certain in a few days if it is possible or not. 

Also, is it possible for any of you (the Fedora-India seniors) to mail
me requesting the college to provide this kind of infrastructure for the
conference on behalf of the "Fedora India Community"? I could print it
out and pass it on to her. The way college functions, I'm pretty sure it
will make things easier for us. 

regards,

Ankur
