BMTC's business-oriented outlook

To compensate for the losses in the regular operations, BMTC is now having to look at newer and newer avenues, though in the process they may be deviating totally from their original mandate. The increased contract services for schools and IT sector companies, etc are a part of all that.

Asia/Calcutta
BMLTA and TransInnova are organising Bangalore Transportation Summit on 10th and 11th September. Here (http://www.bmlta.org/Tran...) are a few more details and here (http://www.bmlta.org/site...)is the schedule. Who is who of Bangalore Transport is expected to be there. Anybody from Praja planning to go? It does not mention if it is an open event or invitation only. If it is invitation only, I guess it wont be too hard to get an invite if we ask BMLTA nicely.

Calling all - website upgrade coming, need your help

This website is our primary tool for interaction, coordination, and attracting new members. We have been lucky enough to get attention and grow, however the site may not have kept pace. Based on your feedback, we are on to a revamp. The things we have heard fall in these main categories

  1. Lots of content, hard to find and track them
  2. Site is getting slower
  3. Unfriendly for new visitors - they don't know how to signup,  find posts, problems logging in etc
  4. Need more tools for member-member interaction. Private Messages are not enough.

So we are starting on a project to address these issues over next few weeks. Towards that, we will appreciate some help from members. No, no, we aren't asking folks to come and code, not yet :) As of now, we need help in following forms:

Belgaum Ganesh decoration using FLEX in demand

The Ganesh Festival has begun since yesterday and all air filled with joy and vigor. The decoration for the Sarvajanik Mandals this time (347) has one noticeable factor of the use of FLEX (plastic same as those big hoardings) material for all decoration as background, pillars etc. Until last year FLEX was used to make only the mandals sign board. but this time a vast use of this has been seen all over by the mandals. Still as this is just the first day after the installation of the idols in the pandals, still the decoration is going on.
