Present a poster at PyCon India 2019 !
by ABHISHEK MISHRA 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

Hi Everyone, I am Abhishek from PyCon India team and really excited to annouce that we have poster presentation this time in PyCon India 2019 ! Here is a chance to present a poster in PyCon India 2019 ! As announced earlier, the posters are yet another way of participating in PyCon India 2019, which is happening on Oct 12-15, at Chennai. There are two different poster types: *Technical Posters* - for presenting projects and insights on various topics *Community Posters* - for user groups / meetup groups to promote their work Here are few good reasons to present a poster: 1. Posters offer the opportunity to engage with attendees interested in the same subject and application as yourself. You might strike up a conversation with someone about your poster that may lead to future collaborations or even a job offer! 2. If you are new to conferences, or if you are intimidated about doing a talk in front of huge audience, posters are for you. Posters are a great way to test the waters, and can be stepping stone for your next talk at a conference. 3. The entire conference attendees is available during the poster session, as there are no other tracks scheduled in parallel. This makes it better than the talk sessions, where there are multiple concurrent tracks, and attendees can only attend one of them. 4. A poster presentation is a good way to disseminate your work, particularly if your topic or project falls within a narrow field of specialization. It also gives you the opportunity to actively engage with others during the conference in a way that networking alone does not, since by its very nature the poster defines the topic of conversation. 5. Another good reason to present a poster is that you can expect to receive compliments on your work and critiques that can help you in the future. An insightful, impartial discussion of your work by a peer can often provide ideas for improving your work downstream. In short, poster presentations provide value, both for attendees who discuss your poster content with you, and for yourself because of the opportunities highlighted above. If this has got you interested, head to https://in.pycon.org/cfp/posters-2019/proposals/ for more details and to submit a poster proposal.

Ubuntu 18.04 is official now in the state Junior Colleges.
by Tayyabali Sayyad 28 Jul '19

28 Jul '19

We are very glad to make you know that the restructured IT syllabus of XI standard is based exclusively on Open Source content. The books are now available in the market. Around 1.5 lac students in Maharashtra will be introduced to Linux and open source from this and successive years. Although the recommended OS is Ubuntu 18.04, LTS, students can use any other Linux Distro if they are interested. All screenshots are that of OSS. This was indeed a major hurdle in migration with old textbooks. The book follows the National Education Policy in ICT education in order to make the education cost-effective, ethical and accessible to all. This is undoubtedly the result of the seeds sown by our veteran founders of ilug-bom. We are incredibly fortunate to have your support in our journey of restructuring the syllabus of IT for XI standard. This couldn't have been achieved without your timely and valuable support. The most substantial contribution is from Krishnakant Mane and his GNUKhata team. The extensive training which the team provided gave BOS members tremendous confidence, especially in the accounting software. Special thanks to Prajakta Patkar, Karan Kamdar and Abhijit of GNUKhata team. Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Nagarjuna, Prof Khedkar, Prof Abhinav Jog, Chandita, and Kasinath Guru. We are thankful to Adv V P Patil, Adv Amardev Unniyal and Sudhakar Kashyap for their help regarding PIL. Thanks to Fr Jude and Sajida of St Mary High School, Sr Meena of Auxilium High School, Gayathri Narayanan (SIWS College), Vidyadhar Mhatre, Shrikrishna Joshi. We are very much thankful to Sudhanwa Joglekar, Gaurav Pant and many other members from PLUG. We are thankful to Balbharti, Hon Director, Support Staff and of course to all BOS team members (listed in the textbook) We are thankful to Rushubh Mehta and Dr Nambiar, Director DBIT, for providing space for ilug-bom meetings and FOSS events. Words are not enough to express how grateful we are for the help you all extended to us directly or indirectly. Please accept our warmest thanks for your support. We hope to get the same support in the years to come. After this two year course, students join various graduation courses, especially BSc(IT) recognized by Mumbai University. These courses still use proprietary software on a large scale in the degree college computer labs. Although many degree colleges are struggling to migrate to open source, they are held back due to some exclusive vendor based products in the curriculum. We expect far more support in order to pursue this issue at the university level. - Team Don Bosco Rushabh, Joe, Raghu, Rajeev,Tayyab, Nilesh, Milind, Pralhad, Benoy,Dhruv, Sameer, Dr Medhekar, Vishal, Rajendra. -- Thanks and Regards!

Tamarind Tree, Dahanu
by Michelle C 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hello All, I am fairly new to the group. I am part of a team that runs an "Open Education" initiative, Tamarind Tree <https://tamarindtree.org> at Dahanu (about two hours north of Mumbai). Our space is grounded on the open source philosophy, believing that every learner must have access to high quality learning through Open Educational Resources (OERs), enabling them to become life long learners. Towards this, we have a combination of Open hardware (SBCs), open gamified tools installed on our customised OS (Treebian!) and content and courses hosted on an open LMS (My Big Campus <https://mybigcampus.in> on moodle). Content is generated based on the NCERT courses and being released under a CC-BY license. Its a DIY space with all this being developed, run and managed in-house by a handful of people. The school is recognised by the Maharashtra Government, catering to the local adivasi children from Pre Primary to Grade 8. We we will be going up to Class 10. Its run in English. We would he happy to host members of this group for a visit here or even offer our space for meetings and share some of our challenges with setting up an open digital model in a rural area. We serve food to the kids, so hosting a group of 10-20 people is not an issue on a weekday. The train takes 2 hours from Bandra and comes straight to Dahanu Road. We are also looking for collaborations on the following fronts: 1. A Moodle and network administrator (can work remotely) (paid position) 2. People to come and volunteer and lead open source projects (building weather station, Open Street Map, teaching imaging, etc) with our students 3. People interested in building educational content, learning videos, games in open source. 4. Our students have been working on Scratch, but we need people for mentoring and inspiration! Please do let me know how to take this forward. Regards Michelle Tamarind Tree +9284254470/+8806661235 twitter: @tamarindtree2 Fb: Tamarind Tree <https://www.facebook.com/ttschooldahanu/notifications/>
