[AG-TECH] Cruises

[Ravikiran Madduri]

Hi
We are currently building our node and are waiting for enabling our
network multicast wise(we are working with bill in this respect).We
sincerely want to participate in scglobal.we got all our machines and
other things configured
I also am willing to extend my services at any point of time and for any
purpose for the event.
If you can do something to get our node going faster we can be available
for scglobal
Thanks
