</Question>
<Q for Prateek>
o Please estimate the turnout.
Well, the initial turnout can be between uptil 100 people if we try real
hard. at least 20 or 30 can be arranged. but beware that if they find the
seminar even remotely boring, they'll get ugly, start messing around and
ultimately leave.. unfortunately, LMB people are not very forgiving.
o Will the school provide us an Overhead projector ?
I doubt it but it can be arranged for 500 bucks
o How many of your friends use Linux now ? Approx.
Only one - me.... I told 5 more abt it but they are too skeptical or too
busy.
o What would be THEIR points of interest ?
Games, Games, Grafix, Net, Mail, Games, Other Cool Stuff, Games.
o Write to the list as to what the LUG USP should be ?? What wiil
enable the maximum turnover from other_OS to linux ?
Err... what is a LUG USP? - a max turnover would be proving to people that
Linux is truly better than windows and will run well on their machines (386
and 486 and P100 etc etc). It also has to be easy to use and supported
well.... People dont want to encounter problems every 2 days.
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 ?
I proposed a new infrastructure to the principal to the tune of 5 lacs to
set up a LAN system.... he said it was approved but nothing has been done
till now... i doubt anything will... LMB still does not have the knowhow
(teachers) to implement Linux.
o Please suggest in what way YOUR school infrastructure can
benefit from Linux
A LOT!..... all our machines are 486s. (19 486's, 21 286's and 6 P100s - i
did a survey) - figures are approx.... all have between 2 and 16 MB of ram
and very minimal HDDs .
</Q for Prateek>
More will follow :)
PID
PS- what we can provide are enthusiastic people to help out and good
computers (owned by students themselves) but i dont know how we can install
linux on them without messing up what they already have..
Maybe we should think about distributing free copies customized to install
linux properly with minimal user input.... the ILUG does have access to CDRs
and stuff...
Moreover, we should only organise somehting like this after March (due to
the exams) a good date would be 5th 6th and 7th may.
LMB is organising Syzygy 2000 on these days. the turnout will be over 800
people from all schools. Its the best date I can think of. I started Syzygy
last year.... and I'm helping out on the event management and creative part
this year even though I have passed out so i guess we can fit it in.
