[lugm.org] Participation in infotech

[Avinash Meetoo]

Hi Ish,

I guess you are referring to http://www.infotech.mu/2015/conference.asp?&154

I have to agree. It's quite appalling that, during Infotech, we'll only
have a few job-related talks and practically nothing concerning IT.

I understand that you don't want to be part of this. What about the others?
