          Just to let you know guys, I'll be contacting the following
colleges:
          MSRIT (New BEL Road, behind IISc)
          BIT (KR Road, near city market)
          BMSCE (Bull temple road, basavanagudi)

         BMS has an audi with a capacity of around 250, and apparently MSR's
audi
         is bigger. I know professors in all three colleges so please let me
know
         which location works for most people so that I can prioritize
talking with them.

         Getting an audi and 3-4 classrooms shouldn't be difficult and we
may get it for
         free if we include the college name like so: InPyCon in association
with BMSCE.
         But anyway, these are details that can be worked out later.
