We had a lot of new volunteers for the stalls.
Though the visitors are less then any other years, the stall
volunteers shared the knowledge
to the attended visitors and other stall peers.
Spoken-Tutorial CDs for Linux/Python/Latex and stickers were
distributed to the visitors.
Yogesh explained on how to participate in a open source community to
get help and to contribute.
He emphasized the importance of doing the final year project by own
and doing it as a contribution for
any open source application.
Choosing the best stalls for prizes was so tough as everyone showed
their best enthusiasm.
Tamil Wikipedia, Ruby, Mozilla teams got the prizes.
We gave them the book "Introduction to Python"
We presented Rs 200 for all the stalls as a gift.
Will send the total accounts soon.
