This note is a somewhat delayed report from Ashutosh Naik a7ash@yahoo.com in Belgaum... Our ILUG-Goa team of eight just returned late last night from Belgaum (150 kms away), after a very interesting visit there. FN
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Day 1 of GNUBeLUG was full of action. Remember, It was the first major event organised by ilug-belgaum. To begin with, the principal of GIT, Dr. D H Rao inaugurated the function by lighting the lamp. This was a really good way of starting the function because with one light, U can light another.. And that's the way the spirit of Free Software multiplies.
The trend during the day was the GNu philosophy.. People were shocked to know that propreitory companies had taken their freedom for granted, And most definitely agreed that GNU/Linux was altleast worth a try..The Principles of Free, Open Source and Propreitory software were argued till length
After the talk on GNU principles by myself, We had a brief Installation seesion, A talk on GNU/Linux in daily life by Gurpreet Singh, And finally a talk on Hacking Kernel Modules by a true hacker, Rahul Iyer.
There were also loads of everyday questions answered by the panelists which included myself, Rohan, Bhaskar Ghose, Gurpreet Singh and Sanket Patil. Most of these questions were on switching to GNU/Linux and the configuration issues involved
Finally the meet ended with a demo of the Indlinux v 0.37 project and a demo of Knoppix
We do look forward to your company tommorrow.. which promises to be more action-packed as compared to today
Tomm's Attractions : - Embedded Linux by Trevor Warren - Setting Up GNU/Linux as a WebServer - Dr. Bhat - GNU/Linux on the desktop - Arvind yadav - GNU/Linux in India - Frederick Noronha - Panel Discussions And much more
