Can you let me/us know of the details once you know more? I will be in 
Hyderabad early to mid November and will most probably be doing a couple

confirmation.

Someone from Hyderabad signed up for the recent Reliance/OLPC workshop. 
Maybe we can find out from the india list (copied) if they have XOs in 
Hyderabad. Amit, any contacts in Hyderabad?
