It's been longtime since we visited the community computing centre. That time Balaji and you had organized program on popularization of science through some practical activity for the public. The mood of the children, women, youth etc. were full of energetic and enthusiastic. I got a feeling that it should be the way one should involve people in science-related activities.

if some of the folks can take classes on cool software for the kids at the community computing center as part of 'Software Freedom day'

that will be nice - and one more small step towards more freedom - for people - denied access to technology!

things needed are tutorials on GIMP - Inkscape - DTP - or any neat software - suited for 7th , 9th - some basic programming like logo - will also have takers - anybody wanting to experiment - wanting to work with the community - learn from the community and give back is welcome !!
