<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Hi,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This is Debayan from GNU/Linux Users'
Group, NIT Durgapur. I wanted to inform you about the Annual National
Level Technical Symposium on GNU/Linux - MUKTI'09 from 6th-8th
February'09 at NIT Durgapur. [<a href="http://www.mukti09.in" target="_blank">www.mukti09.in</a> ]</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Right from MUKTI'05 when it was a
National Level Workshop, MUKTI has had only one aim, to encourage
adoption of Linux and Open Source Software among the students.
MUKTI
promises to be a mixture of Competitions and Workshops that focus on
Linux and Free Open Source Software Movement (FOSS).
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">MUKTI'09 consists of two main
Semi-online Events:-
</p>

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">openPAPER:-</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">MUKTI'09 provides you with the unique
platform to showcase your ideas in front of the world. openPAPER, the
paper presentation contest welcomes your ideas on Free and Open
Source Softwares(FOSS) in the form of paper.
