Hi all, I am a student of S K Somaiya College of Arts, Science and Commerce. We are having our annual festival between 12th to 17th December 2005 combining all the sections of the college which includes Department of Computer Science and I. T.
On this occasion, I would like to have a seminar on GNU/Linux for encouraging the usage of GNU/Linux among my college students. I invite, anyone in the list whoever would like to conduct this seminar with reference to the following points with some experience in the industry. 1) What is Linux (Kernel, history, Linus Torvalds, Free Software is exactly?) 2) Why Linux? (Comparison with Windows, Security, Reliability, Features) 3) The X-Window System and Desktop Environments (GNOME, KDE) 4) Basic tips, Do's and Don't for installing and using Linux and Hardware Compatibility Details 5) Reducing Software Piracy and encouraging usage of Licensed Software and/or using GNU/Linux and software available from internet (website links)
The target audience of students could be between 100 - 120. Though I haven't found any sponsors for the CD, I wish to distribute Free CD's (Knoppix 3.6 or 3.9, Ubuntu, Damn Small Linux [any one] ) to all those who attend this seminar and/or give them away as prizes by conducting a quiz at the end of the seminar to get a feedback of the seminar . Ofcourse, the CD's will be burnt on the blank CD-R's available in the market.
If there are any sponsors interested, kindly let me know.
Kindly let me know before 3rd or 4th December as prior arrangements of LCD / Classroom, other permissions etc have to be made.
Awaiting a positive response.
Roshan

Hi Roshan,
I would be quite interested in conducting the seminar. Although I'm not an 'expert' yet, the topics that you mentioned, I can easily conduct a good seminar upon. There are probably better qualified people than me on this list, but I would like a chance. Please let me know what you think.
Regards, Mrugesh
