Thanks a lot for getting back to me. I am a solid web-programmer so over time I have learned: PHP, mySQL, html, css, django, couch-db (in the process of learning) and javascript. I will definitely look again at the link you provided to pick something up and work on it and also try my best to attend the next meeting (I am a student, so I might be at school at that time).

That is a tribute to how good Linux is. -- Linus Torvalds On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 2:28 AM, Mel Chua <mel@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 12/27/2009 03:37 PM, Vikram Dhillon wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> How are you guys doing?
