Hi Sammy and Haggen,

My department agreed to sponsor the venue. Please send me a formal
letter (soft copy will do) signed by representative of the organizing
committee to the Department of Computer Science, City University of
Hong Kong stating :

1.  Title and dates of the conference.
2.  The venue requirements (i.e. 2 LTs and 6 booths).
3.  The conference is not commercial and there is no fee being charged
(therefore Hackfest should not be included/mentioned as fee will be
charged).
4.  Staff and students from CityU will be invited to join the conference.

I'll then book the LT as soon as possible.


Regards,
M T Chan
