SFD 2011 Stalls Suggestions

Dear All,

I hope the SFD 2011 preparation is going on.

Here I narrated the list of stalls which will be helpful to the public and students.

If you are newbie to sfd and have interest to put stalls,

then the following list may gives you an idea about it.

There are two ways to put stall. 1. Easy way, 2. Medium way.

Easy way not even takes more than one hour to prepare to make stall.

How it means, if you know some thing / already used some tools means,
you can make stall by showing slide show / live demo.

Medium way means, it needs 2 or 3 people to be combined, need to spend few days
to execution it and need some more hardware resources.
