Hi Soumya,
        I see that the important information is already given by Mani and
Shyam. I went to IIIT-Hyderabad for my Engineering (2003-2007). It is
really good to see you here :-). I will be happy to visit the campus next
time I visit Hyderabad and introduce folks to gluster (I am hoping Linux
Users Group is still as active as it used to be). I heard that our college
is very famous now because of the performances in ACM ICPC, may be we
should make it famous for open-source contributions too in future :-).

All the best!
