I have been informed that Special Appreciation Awards will be given to the select few members of Exun who make an exceptional effort in organising Exun. Judging for the same will be done by Mr. Mukesh and a group of select disinterested judges. The award will be presented during the prize distribution ceremony on 31st October.

You want to start “Future Corporation�, and turn your idea into reality. As part of the think tank of your future company you are supposed to convince

“Venture Labs�, a venture capitalist firm interested in investing in new commercially viable, technically feasible, time and cost effective tech ideas.

“Venture Labs� is searching for new entrepreneurs.

We will need an oral presentation (with one or both the participants presenting), which can be accompanied by multimedia aids, overhead projections, pamphlets, or anything that will enhance your presentation.

The presenter would be provided with a Pentium 4 computer (Win 98/XP, with speakers), a multimedia projector, or an overhead projector. All other requirements should be taken care of by the participating team itself. Please inform us about the file format of your presentation a week in advance.

The presentation should focus on the commercial viability and the technical feasibility of the venture. Equal weightage shall be given to both, the idea as well as the presentation.

Any number of questions maybe asked by the judges and only two questions from the audience.

Note: “Venture Labs� is just a fictitious company for the competition purposes only. No actual capital will be provided as such.

Methinks Exun really needs to buck up with regard to its Web D skills. Exunclan.com, if you noticed, is not the most trendy website around.

For this, I think a Session on CSS should be a good thing. Since I don’t know CSS too well, I think we should have a cooperative Session. Here’s what I think we should do. We should get together, and dissect CSS files from Blogger templates like those of ln(exun), etc. Those who are knowledgable in CSS can come up and elucidate us regarding certain aspects.

Those who don’t know CSS at all will be explained the basics and told why CSS is so cool and sexy. Do comment on how you like the idea and possible dates for the Session.
