India Linux Users Group (ILUG-Goa) will be meeting on Feb 22 at the CSI
office (3rd Floor, Naguesh Apartments, Near Navtara Hotel, Panjim) from 4
to 6.30 pm.
Planned activities for this weekend in Panjim include:
o Bijon Shaha to talk on GNUify, the recent event at
Symbiosis Pune, where he was a guest speaker at a
new but ambitious meet started in this tech city.
o Arvind Yadav to speak about COMPAS, the meet at
Kolkata where the LUG had a significant presence...
(subject to confirmation)
o Tilmann Singer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from Europe will be briefly
speaking on OpenACS. This is a cool toolkit for building
community web applications. See http://openacs.org (specially of
interest for people into web apps).
Singer lives in Berlin, and came to know of us via the Wizards
of Os conference. He is currently working for four months in
Hyderabad, helping with setting up a small company focussed on
the development of a Free/Libre and Open Source Software web
toolkit (openacs) and is an open source campaigner himself.
o Discussions on Cyberage, GoaSchoolsComputersProject, Freeduc
and related GNU/Linux-in-Education issues. Wanted: volunteers
to demo Freeduc.
o Resources: Sharing of new CDs and stickers available...
please visit Ajay Cuncolienkar's http://sofall.vze.com
for a list of the latest CDs available. Also visit ILUG-Goa
archives at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ilug-goa
o Please note: The supply of 'LINUXForYou' copies available
for sale with the LUG are exhausted. Those interested are
requested to pick up the same early from Varsha Book Stall
or Mandovi Newspaper Agency or other outlets in Panjim and
elsewhere. The Knoppix CD that comes with this issue makes
this a particularly worth-it buy, specially for those wanting
to check out what GNU/Linux is all about.
Any other issues for the upcoming meeting/s? Please announce...
GNU/Linux meetings are free for all to attend. You're welcome. Please
confirm you attendance in advance, by sending an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Frederick Noronha.
PS: The next meeting of ILUG-Goa in Margao will be on March 8. Kindly note
that the Margao meetings will henceforth be held on the second Saturday of
each month.
PPS: The Goa LUG is looking out for additional venues where it could
launch its activities (specially outside of Panjim, Margao and
Farmagudi). Any suggestions? Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
