Dear Siva,
I will be participating in the meeting. Here I confirm the same. Hope tomorrow we would be finalizing all other pending tasks. I have been in touch with two videographers.
Rate card as follows:
1. Rs 4,000 per day (8 hrs)with basic editing along with CD (shooting with DV cam)
2. Rs. 3,500 per day (6 hrs) with basic editing along with CD (shooting with advanced cam/movie cam probably).

See you all....

Hmm I am unable to guess. Do you guys know what is the session? I mean is the session decided or yet to be decided?

hey prajwala, the surprise

asifnoor's picture

hey prajwala,

the surprise session will be decided based on the users votes. While registration, users will have an option where in they can input the topic name. Based on the topic which is requested by many students, we will plan that session. If we don't get any such kind of requests, we ourselves will plan something interesting.

Hi Prajwala, I am sure you

Some suggestions from students

siva_epari's picture

Hi all

After yesterday's meet, we got lot of vocal suggestions from the minutes from the students.

  1. The student's want that the event should continue onto monday, so that they get good time in learning or practicing from Sunday sessions.
  2. Students are also ready to pay for the third day and VNR VJIET is ready to host the event on third day.
  3. Suggestions came in that, a page should be dedicated for all the Organizations who are volunteering for the event. (For e.g. Swecha, VNR GLUG, CVings, etc.)
  4. Students are requesting for certificates for attending the workshop, which they can use for recruitment's in companies

These we points are needed to be discussed.

Regards
Siva

Siva Kumar Epari

Hi Siva, Providing

ipsitamishra's picture

Hi Siva,

Providing Certificates to workshop attendees is a good idea. Having a dedicated page for Organizers is also doable.

We need to discuss about feasibility of extending the workshop into Monday. As I understand 3rd day will be completely Practice session.
Please add a Poll for all committee memeber who can make themselves available on Monday. The 3rd day will rely on how many will turn up for that day as it's a working day.
