CDAC/NCST had shown interest to record this, we need to pursue this idea. Otherwise, hbcse has the paraphernalia to do the recording etc. what we need are volunteers to convert the video into vcd's. Any volunteers? I will give them the lab with non-liniar editing etc, but they do have to work only in the late evenings. Several people had recorded ealrier, but they have not made efforts to give me or any one the copies. Kresit had also done a recording of a workshop, they must be having the recording too. may be we should do it again to get professional quality. Secondly, regarding the live CD to be distributed, in fact all the programs demonstrated during my workshop are done using a specially developed CD for schools/colleges under the LIFE project, the CD is called School Gnoware, which was demonstrated and given to all the participants. Also another CD containing a wealth of documentation, called GNU DOC, prepared by warren, is also included. We also have another live CD called office Gnoware with Indian language support. Depending on where I do the workshop I give the appropriate live CD. Thanks to Debian and Knoppix projects, this has become very easy, and also thanks to my project students who developed the various versions of the CD with help from Amish Munshi, the expert remastering guy in town.

From a very humble perspective if we all can meet together and have a course chartered outlining tentative schedules for the year ahead we would be a group with a very definite cause for the year ahead.

I think that we should exploit the possibilities of promoting linux by giving away live cds other then the normal distributions. Most of the windows users thinks linux is tough to install and use. Live cds could really impress them.
