good to know about your observations , so what's your take should they be recognised publicly or not ? I for one would want them to be publicly taken on a google bus around the town to get them on a high and then make them work on project ;-) , its all about exposure , i am happy they will experience the highs and lows of Life , its all about being exposed to elements and if GSOC gives that why not let them exploit it , about $ that's a different topic all together. -Satya http://www.linkedin.com/in/satyaakam _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
