The attendance was huge as ever, mainly because of the Free PC add campaign. Triranjan, Jayabrata, Prosun, Anshul, Avijit and me (later in the evening) continued volunteering. The Freeduc live CD ws installed in HDD and it became really popular.
One little concern is that a lot of people are seeing the bangla and hindi desktop and the different look and feel of xfce, kde, gnome, etc but leaving the stall without understanding that its running on a different OS called Linux which has a different licensing agreement. In fact to some the very concept of operating system is not clear so its very difficult to explain what Linux is all about. Also in the crowd its not always possible to tell everyone that we are not representing AMAR PC but ilug-cal. Otherwise the show is going pretty well so far. Although Jayabrata is coming tomorrow to boot the machines but I am expecting others to come and release the load from Prosun, Jayabrata and Triranjan a bit. Also the book fair is not that cheap. Transport + ticket + refreshment costs and its not right to put the load on very few to carry on the whole week. Soumadip and A. Mani are supposed to come tomorrow. Others also please do come and join. -Saugata --- Jaybrata Bhattacharyya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > we are in drastic need of volunteers for tomorrow at > book fair. i will > not be able to stay there for more than one hour. > please try to get > involved. > - -- > jaybrata > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - > http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFB/8DlK+sKO9ZfalwRAg0BAKC7AdX9B46R7IZf5GhtvJ+5/PvQZQCeKWvb > cp4agSVhkFTHsx2eDcvJ8p0= > =cJEE > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -- > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with the body > "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line. > FAQ: http://www.ilug-cal.org/node.php?id=3 > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
