Well i have no issues on Saturdays ....
[snip] Hello Luggers,
Lemme add to the topic aldready under discussion. Sometime ago Dr. Nagarjuna, Dinesh and me had been to Sangli to conduct a 2 day WorkShop on gnu-linux. It was quite an enriching experience and educatiing for us too on various fronts. The enthusiasm of the youngsters wanting to learn gnu-linux and being so receptive to the idea of Free Software meant a lot to all of us from the Ilug-Bom.
At the end of the workshop we had completed with half of Hands on Installation for all of the students. And i am pretty sure that some of them pple who Grasped some of the Basics are still around.
Instead of making it to the college again and conducting another workshop, i should suggest that now Rajaram Bapu College of Engineering form their own Free-Software Cell which would consist of Like minded pple interested in propogating the concept of Free Software and also have an Open Forum for solving Technical Problems related to Free Software implementation all over their own college and the surrounding colleges too.
IF NEEDED, we can have a bootcamp in Bombay conducted by the Ilug-Bom and SPEARHEADED by the luggers who were ready to spare some time towards this noble cause. This bootcamp could cover teaching some core members of the College the core skills required to setup/maintain the servers/setup of the Labs and also indulge them in a HOWTO on setting up a local Free Software grp in college.
I think this is the right thing to do, since after a 2 day workshop @ Rajaram Bapu C.O.E by now some of the core canidates should be bold enough to Spearhead the Free Software Campaign with some amount Hand Holding from our side. I
I sincerely doubt re-conducting the whole workshop episode again.
