[ug-bosug] [belenix-discuss] BeleniX - Project Day proposal for FOSS.IN/2007

[S h i v]

Hi All, there haven't been any concrete inputs regarding the agenda
for the second day if we pitch in for 2 days of project day.

I suggested,

> code structure & bite-sized-bugs as a 1hr session, 0.5hr session about

Can we have some more suggestions. Otherwise, it will have to be
* original proposal(1day) OR
* original proposal + 0.5day of bite-sized-bugs codefest

Since 2nd day part is a major change to the initial proposal, instead
of putting up the proposal on foss.in mailing list right now, I will
wait till today evening 4pm for any additional inputs.

regards
Shiv
