this is regarding the technical festival named "Praxis" to be held in Vivekanand engg. college on 16-17 march. in the last meet, i had said, that being a student of Vivekanand engg. coll. i will talk to the Praxis managing committee about holding a small workshop on Gnu/Linux and/or having a small stall where we could sell Gnu/Linux related cds like Knoppix, etc.
i inform you all with great displeasure, that the festival is heavily scheduled with various events, and that we cannot be allowed to hold a workshop.
but i also have a good news. in all probability, we might be allowed to hold a workshop on behalf of the IEEE VESIT chapter in the following week. we might also be allowed to have a stall to sell cds, etc. i will contact the necessary authorities, and let you all know about the workshop as soon as possible.
i personally think that educating students about Gnu/Linux is important and the media shouldn't matter much. so we should all see this as a good opportunity
