Hello Luggers...;)

This time around i write to get the ball rolling for the upcoming gnu-linux workshop being conducted @ the Rajaram Bapu College of Engineering.

I proposed to conduct this workshop for a period of 2 days in the 1st week of Next month, most probably on a SAT-SUN.

I would like the following from Volunteers on this Mailing list.....

--> The Workshop is being conducted for Engineering Students.....so considering the efforts to be put in from an academic perspective i would encourage u luggers to put forth TOPICs/Ideas that these Students could make use of.

[snip]

wud like to suggest a few as i know the audience kinda good --> since most of our programming is done on C n C++ hence what all does linux have instore for that

--> A good introduction of the PRC for the juniors who next year might wanna take up some project from it.

--> If there is way to teach ppl how to use the web more fruitfully, it wud be welcome i think, 'coz i just see ppl chatting away to glory in the netcafes and wasting there time, at that really hurts me.

--> as many development tools that u guys can cover...

--> Think abt Volunteering nd mail me abt the Topics that you would be conversant with. Lets at all cost avoid Sys-Admin kindda stuff. Tho.....there will be a small module discussin some very ELEMENTARY Sys-Admin stuff......nd our main focus still remains Programming/Gnu-Linux based Envs.

[snip] plz dont rule out sys admin totally, maybe few guyz can be given that knowledge so that they can maintain the labs well.
