Hi all:

A new TSM format has been introduced to make the event more
valuable for the attendees and address community priorities.

The 180 min that we spent on Saturday, will now have:

   70 min : Technology Talk

   30 min : Dev Video / Experience sharing

   80 min : Project Engineering discussions

The 70-80 min technology talks will focus on aspects that can be 
put to immediate use by the Twincling Project Engineering teams.
This would be applicable for Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec TSMs.

The 30 min Video is a great way to see and listen to what the
other smart engineers in Open Source are doing. A developer in
person will be invited to share his/her experience with technology
or design in event (s)he is based out of or available over the weekend 
in Hyderabad.

Every TSM will now also serve as a platform for engineering discussions
related to Twincling Projects. This would be for about 70 - 80 min.
The face 2 face interaction among the team members is expected to
facilitate discussions related to features, implementation issues,
welcoming new members. This "high touch" approach will be supported
by the "high tech" mailing list/IRC interactions.

The event timing as always, continues to be 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm and
the TSM will be scheduled for Second saturday of every month.
There may be exceptions due to holidays, in which case we reschedule
to 3rd Saturday perhaps.

Other points of note are as follows:

--
Software CD/DVD

Member services like Software media CD/DVDs will be available at
the TSM venue. You are welcome to bring in your blank CD/DVD and
based on your choice (among available ISO images) we'll write the
media.

--
Laptops

All laptops taken inside the premises have to have the asset serial number
endorsed, before they will be allowed inside. We align with the security
practices of our host ie. AppLabs and all attendees are requested to 
cooperate in this matter.

--
ID Card

All members are requested to kindly carry their ID cards.
For student members, college ID cards are required.

--
Arrive Early

As our attendance during TSM is significant, it takes quite sometime
for members to sign-in, get laptop serial number endorsed and be escorted 
to the 3rd floor, 3XL Conf room.

Please arrive atleast 15 - 20 min in advance at the venue so that 
we don't lose time.

Hope the new format will help the members and be a enjoyable experience.


thanks
Saifi.
