The `TCE Linux Forum' was started on 20-12-2003. The objective of the forum was to advocate Free software and to help fellow GNU/Linux Users. Mr. Bharathi S, of ILUG-Chennai delivered a talk on Free Software and the Linux localisation project at the first meeting of the Forum, on 20-12-2003. The meeting was attended by a crowd of 325 comprising of students and teachers. In association with the meeting a demo was organised at the `UNIX &Paralled processing Lab, CSE Dept, TCE'. The demo showcased Office utitilities, Network utilities, Programming tools, gaming, etc..

The members of the `TCE Linux Forum' have been added to a mailing list called the `GNU/Linux Users Group OF TCE' (GLUGOT). The mailing list address is `glugot@freelists.org'.
