Hi shashank,
Thanks for posting your grasp of NewGenLib presentation but you got some important information wrong like, the NewGenLib was declared as opensource in Jan 2008 and not in 2007 and the number of download are 3500+.
It would have bean grate if you have mentioned the companies involved in it. The companies are Verus Solutions Pvt Ltd and Kesavan Institute of Knowledge Management.
Any way, cogractulations for conducting a good program like this.
Good Luck
