Hi,
I'm working as a software developer/Build Engineer in a s/w concern at=20
Adyar=2E I planned to take up this meet especially because the agenda was
on CVS=2E=20
I was accompanied by my Colleague, who was in an idea to drop me at the
seminar hall, but unfortunately we weren't able to trace the hall in IIT
campus=2E After an hour of search we returned back, even the security
personal and students failed to guide us=2E
So what I feel is, it will be better if this meet is conducted somewhere
else other than IIT campus=2E
Thanks,
Gopi=2E
