Sir,
We have a Free Software users group in our NSS
College of Engineering,Plakkad, named as FOX-Free
software and Open systems eXtended. We understood that
most of the students not aware of the Free software
movement and GNU or they are misunderstanding the
meaning and the mission. In this scenario we would
like to conduct an awareness programme in the form of
a seminar or workshop. We think that you are used to
conduct these type of programmes and you can help us.
If you are interested please reply us in email.
Santhosh T R,
Coordinator-Fox club,
Dept of Computer Science and Engg.
NSS college of Engineering,
Palakkad-678595.

Did you know that you can only see the official online version of the
constitution of India in our national language - Hindi, if you use
Internet Explorer? That is right. Take a look at the following link.
http://indiacode.nic.in/coiweb/welcome.html
I have been hunting down other GoI offenders and listing them at
http://www.lug-delhi.org/HallOfShame/Websites
Now dont go ahead and moan about difficulties of showing Indian
languages on the web.The PTI hindi website
(http://www.ptinews.com/bhasha/ptisite.nsf) shows that a standard based
alternative already exists.
We need more help from every body concerned to list the GoI and private
financial institution offenders who discriminate against users of
alternative and Free Operating systems from accessing information from
our very own government!
After all what is the point of evangelising Linux/BSD or whatever as an
alternative to newbies if they see that every other web site in India
openly discriminate against them?

Recently, the ILUGC organised a demo day for IEEE [pronounced as
I-triple-E] at the Central Lecture Theatre, IIT Madras. Brief minutes
about the meet is available at:
http://www.chennailug.org/meeting/minutes/yr2004/ilugc-112004.html
My talk was on on "FSF and GNU", and the slides I used for the talk is
available at: http://personal.vsnl.com/ramanraj/FSF_and_GNU.tar.gz
[99K] The purpose of the talk was to briefly introduce FSF and GNU to
an audience totally new to free software. I should thank Bharathi for
organising the event, giving the opportunity and for choosing a nice
topic to talk about :)
Though I used OO Impress for the talk, I have converted the file for
use with MagicPoint, a X11 based presentation tool. The presentation
file (FSF_and_GNU.mgp) is just a text file which may be easily
modified or improved. MagicPoint allows presentation files to be
created quickly with a text editor, building with tag directives for
embedding graphics, grabbing command outputs into foils for live
displays during presentations etc. After installing MagicPoint, to
start the presentation give the command:
# mgp <file_name>
Official home page of MagicPoint is at: http://www.Mew.org/mgp/
Shakthi Kannan, gave a presentation on "GNU/Linux Software
Applications for Engineers and Tech Support" and is available for
download from http://www.geocities.com/cyborg4k/ieee1104.tar.gz [1MB]

Sivasankar Chander also introduced Gnu/Linux to the audience, but I do
not have the link to his slides. In all, about 30 IEEE members, 70
IIT-M Students, and few others attended the demo day workshop.
