Basic Foundation of FOSS: In this basically as we all are aware of FOSS upto a certain level so we should do workshop in various engineering college to increase the FOSS userbase this way we can have a large no. of people who can do workshop in various parts and on various basic topics. 2. Improvizing the skills of the FOSS userbase created from pt.1 in this we can have a higher level workshop for those who are not newbies and people who are in this field for so long like Shakthiji, Narendraji and many others ( i don't know other name, Sorry) can have a workshop for people like me who know about FOSS but want to go deeper into the field and other advanced topics this way i think it would be better because this how things will spread fast and efficiently according to me. So i think we should have two kinds of events in a year because everyday a lot new people get added to FOSS Community so they need to expand their knowlege so that they can do more than just telling about FOSS and they could practically help themselves and others with various domains of FOSS world. -- Parin Sharma Another FOSS Lover, New Delhi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Do you have another question?
