Nice to hear from you :) Yeah, MSRIT is doing a good job as far as the
conf goes. I was there as speaker this yr. So, what activities does
the VRLINUG group conduct, besides the conference? Do you guys do some
projects other than the university mandated ones? Just curious :) As
far as the seminar goes...I guess if you could tell us what it is that
you are looking for, then we could arrange something...what say?
