Great to know you PRateek !
We would sure be really enthused to do a Linux demo
workshop in your school. How soon can you give us the feedback and the
green signal ?
{Rutvik, i am avoiding dbpc right now becos taht would entail
yours and mine BOTH having to take a day off.. prateek IS in scho0ol and
can prob'ly be faster with the response.depending oin the success, we can
turn to dbpc, ju , be, mhs (8-+)}
We have to keep a few things in mind. These have been disced
before on this list.. i am trying to summarize 'em.
o No super techie, OS noodling stuff
o Concentrate on GAMES, GUI, APPS
o Help the school with installation of atleast 1 Linux machine,
proxy,mail,gateway, if nothing..a workstation.
o The Linux Philosophy should permeat
o Professional,small presentations, but feature rich stuffie
o Do not concentrate on techie's alone. Bribe the non-techie's to
come over too.
o We are not here to blast other_OS. Linux is about a _better_
choice.
<Question>
What should be the optimum audience limit ?
Would it be possible to have a VDU projector (RGB) ?
o Time duration ?
</Question>
<Q for Prateek>
o Please estimate the turnout.
o Will the school provide us an Overhead projector ?
o How many of your friends use Linux now ? Approx.
o What would be THEIR points of interest ?
o Write to the list as to what the LUG USP should be ?? What wiil
enable the maximum turnover from other_OS to linux ?
o would the school be interested in setting up a LinuxStation ..
say as a mail server (internal) so that teachers with computers
in their rooms can mail each other ?
o Please suggest in what way YOUR school infrastructure can
benefit from Linux
</Q for Prateek>
More will follow :)
