Ashish, your last line reads this: "TL;DR: Hackathon on Sept 14/15, come write some code, no slides required, cool prizes, great mentors, *chief guest responsible for the invention of C/C++/Unix.* Tech event of the year, don’t miss."
Above, it is mentioned that he headed that center, which invented C/C++/UNIX, and here, you have written that he is responsible for the invention of C/C++/UNIX, this is the point which group has pointed out. Kindly, get the facts right and then post.
