Hi,
Yesterday (sunday), Mani had taken GIMP session Mount Carmel MBA students (Shivaji Nagar) & We Care group (a group working for handicapped children). There were 40 students from Mount Carmel & total around 70. The feedback was excellent and everyone praised Mani for his good english. I was not there and Mani briefed us about this.

It is a very good effort from Mani and now he is growing confidence to take GIMP session to bigger crowd. He also told them briefly about the concept of Free Software.
Thanks & Regards senthil for mani

Very nice to hear that free softwares is bringing confidence in many lives
By the way mani, i think you could also think of doing professional training-- i will inform you if any such requirement arises around me...
meanwhile, how about making screencasts of whatever you know and sell DVD's of those screencasts, if any such thing happens , take an order for a DVD from my side
wishing you all the best in your future endeavors

That is really great! I was wondering whether he has seen Grokking the Gimp. It is a very good tutorial for GIMP. If Mani can read English, this may be of good use to him. Wish his all success.
Best
