Hi,<br>I am happy that some initiatives are being planned. But in the end what matters is how the entire thing takes off. We just dont need any spl day to do anything. <br><br>Having external co-ordinators or GNU/Linux - Reps for colleges wont help. The initiatives should be taken by the people (students) within the institution.
<br><br>Secondly, how many us bother to teach someone ? I believe the more you keep talking, the more you hold someone from programming. If you know perl, just go and teach your friend. If you know to install GNU/Linux, just go and do it for your friend.&nbsp; Most of the&nbsp; stuffs are learnt by fixing up things.
<br><br>You can have tutorial sessions for various programming languages but no talks. Probably stuffs like how to use Gdb, learning Php makes sense rather than just arguing about how what/how-to etc. Make students aware of various technical-user-groups within the city which will make them get involved in the community.
