Okay, this post is to do with my life out of the Fedora community.
Here’s a mail I got from CodeChef . The contest is only for Indian students this time, and weirdly enough falls right in between my end sem exams.

Will Codechef on campus be run under LUG manipal, or will it be run as a separate club?
if it is being run as a campus chapter separate from LUG,then will there be a technical committee and if so, when will the committee be formed?
hey,
There is no “club Codechef” going to be formed. The campus chapter is an online club. I will be holding workshops etc. probably from next semester, but these are not under the LUG since Codechef is not at all about FOSS. There may be speakers who are also members of the LUG, however, that will only be because of their programming knowledge.
regards,
Ankur
