Fifth Anniversary Technical Meeting: Tuesday 12th October, 2010

[Pavel Merdin]

  Hi, everyone.

I'm Pavel Merdin. I just moved to the MK recently. It would be nice to 
listen to various talks and getting someone's experience in different 
topics.
I would be happy if someone gave me a phone number in case I get lost in 
the campus :).

Thanks.
P.S. Sorry if it's a duplicate.
