Quotable Quotes

"This year they had shortlisted some colleges in Bangalore and our dear BMSCE was a part of it.But it so happened that the coordinators for our College backed out from conducting the event in our college thinking that the response will be bad.And many thanks to Ram , an active member of FOSS.in, me and my friends Sharadha,Shilpa, Nandini and Ganga took up the initiative and oragnised the entire thingie in good 6 hours yesterday.Some phone calls and the event was finalised ."

"Yesterday whole night me and my friends were hoping that people will turn up and make the event a huge success. And it happened !!!"

-- Anjhan aka tuxmaniac

"About 60 people stayed back and we splitted into 4 groups and addressed their doubts and asked about their interest areas. Me and Dilip took charge of one group and we had a very interesting discussion. Other three groups were handled bu Aanjhan, Srikanth and Dinesh. We had to leave the hall only because they had to close the hall and we left the campus becuase it was already 1 30 and all of us were started feeling hungry."
