Forgot an important bit here. A big thanks to the FOSSkriti organizers,
Arun, Rohit, Nirbheek and others for the publicity of LCIN, for the stall,
poster, etc. The poster was pretty cool !! (sure folks must have seen it by
now on Arun's flickr). Also, we now have a contact point from IITK, a girl
from the first yr. And participation from many women from IITK. Thanks
folks!


Regards,
Ankita
