Some videos from Goa, mainly around Software Freedom Day at BITS
Pilani Goa campus. FN
My beautiful [GNU]Linux
BITS-Pilani Goa campus has grown over the past four to five years, and
now has over 2000 students on the outskirts of Vasco/Dabolim. At a
Software Freedom Day held on the campus recently (Sept 27, 2008) we
encounter students, and learn about their interest in Free Software
and Open Source. Also some images from an event that saw talks and
presentation span the better part of two days. This video starts with
a showcasing of the potential of GNU/Linux, the largely
volunteer-built alternative computing system... that's in fact better
than the 'real thing' (my view)!

Lyx ... and all that
LyX is a document processor following the self-coined "what you see is
what you mean" paradigm (WYSIWYM), as opposed to the WYSIWYG ideas
used by word processors. This means that the user only has to care
about the structure and content of the text, while the formatting is
done by LaTeX, an advanced typesetting system. LyX is designed for
authors who want professional output with a minimum of effort and
without becoming specialists in typesetting. The job of typesetting is
done mostly by the computer, following a predefined set of rules
called a style, and not by the author. Specific knowledge of the LaTeX
document processing system is not necessary but may improve editing
with LyX significantly for specialist purposes. DP explains how he
uses this tool... (quote from the Wikipedia)

Mind-maps? What's all that about?
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or
other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word
or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and
classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving,
decision making, and writing. DP explains at the BITS Pilani, Goa
centre. 27 September 2008.
