Hi Sandeep,
Thank you for confirming that the LUGM was not part of the panel
discussion. A few hours ago, I was left scratching my head and wondering
what that was all about because as far as I know, LUGM was only doing the
Linux Installfest at Flying Dodo, on generous invitation from the
organisers of Devcon.
