GOA is one of the popularly-visited tourist destinations of India. Our GNU/Linux users' group decided to shift this month's event (and possibly future ones too) to a venue by our scenic coast. We meet-up at the canteen of the Kala Academy, an arts and performing centre just outside the state-capital of Panjim.
Holidayers in this part of the globe are more than welcome!
ILUG-Goa, the GNU/Linux network, meets in Goa this Saturday, Dec 27, 4 pm. In keeping with our plans for meeting at more scenic locales, we will be meeting up at Campal this week. Someone suggested we meet up at a beach shack -- who knows, we might. Our friendly LUG's motto is shifting to: "You pay for what you eat and the tea; the beach and the technology come free."
Talks for this week:
LinuxBIOS project and a made-in-Goa Grub patch (by Yunus Shaikh and team, from Ponda)
XFCE and why it appeals to me -- Prof Anil Seth, head of IT Department, PCC College, Verna.
Mario Alvares -- Saraswati: one-mind. An information sharing system for schools in Goa, through connecting them via the Internet. A low-cost solution that enables member schools to share knowledges and resources with others. http://www.knowledgeinitiatives.org/saraswati
Discussion (Animesh Nerurkar): plans for promoting GNULinux to Khandola, a local college.
