Website defacing contest
There's news about a 'hacking contest' on July 6th. Hold still, my dear website. :(

Campus news
A. SPIDI
(pronounced 'spidey'. Sounds like 'sidey'. We could have done better:-)
IIMB launches intranet SPIDI. There was a tremendous need of a unified campus-wide communications platform. Kudos to Sigma.

B. Sweden Day
Sweden day happening in campus this evening 1800 hrs.
(Mail from student Presi) Sweden Day is a part of Project India, which was initiated in November 2002 by ten students from the Stockholm School of Economics and the Royal Institute of Technology. The aim is to increase the cultural and commercial understanding between India and Sweden. The project is the tenth consecutive project conducted by students at the universities, and is split up in two parts; The first one is an academic report focusing on Indian students views and expectations of their future careers and employers, but also the other way around, looking at the companies expectations and requirements of their future employees. The report will be published in September and will be distributed among students at the two universities, and to other partners and interested faculties. The second part of the project is the arrangement of Sweden Day at the Indian Institute of Management here in Bangalore where we will present, to the students, Swedish culture and companies. The companies are given a chance to market themselves towards the students in a very different context, which we believe will strongly enhance the image the students will get, both of the companies present and of Sweden as a country.

C. Aarambh
