Re: [ossig] [OSSIG] Proposal for the formation of an OSS IndustryAssociation
Tejinder had stated in another thread that he's trying to get a
classroom and that there can be problem with aircon as its a holiday.
If he can't get it and there are no other alternatives, I'll offer to
host it at my place (SS3 in PJ). 10-15 people would be fine. If you guys
want lunch it can be arranged too. Let me know by thursday evening though.
