One of my concerns is that most educational institutions in India have
their exams during early December/late November. If we are planning on
targeting students from engineering colleges, etc early December/late
November seems to be a bad choice.
On the other hand, being close to FOSS.in is also important, since it
would make things easier for people to plan and arrange their travel.

I guess it all boils down to who we are planning on targeting for GNOME Asia. :)
