<div dir="ltr">Hi Susan,<div><br></div><div> I think this is a great opportunity; I am really fascinated with this exciting chance to become and take part in ASUG contributions. However, one thing which I would like to know is, I am currently working for Capgemini India.Am I eligible to become a volunteer? I am not sure about what type of membership does Capgemini has,but I could identify them that they are already members in ASUG.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Can you let me know how can I take part in this exciting opportunity.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 15, 2014 at 5:41 PM, Keohan, Susan - 1140 - MITLL <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:keohan@ll.mit.edu" target="_blank">keohan@ll.mit.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
