It gives me great pleasure to let you know that we had yet another success in this direction. I introduced Ubuntu linux in my junior college, Shri Shivaji sc. college in Amravati and they are totally going crazy over it. They have decided to build a linux lab in their college. They have organized dozens of lectures and seminars on linux and FOSS since then. They have gone to the extent of adding a course on FOSS/Linux with help from Anna university. They estimate savings in Lakhs annually in linsesing costs.
Ubuntu has caught every body with surprise and everyone's loving it. If anybody has a idea for an event based on FOSS/Linux in mind, they can contact me. I will talk to the authorities in the college. If the college is interested they will sponsor it. Thanks, Mustafa.
