Dear all, One day FOSS workshop was conducted in Sri Durgadevi Polytechnic College, Kavaraipettai (http://www.sdpc.ac.in) on 06/07/12 for the 2nd and 3rd year students of Computer Technology totaling 126 students.
The workshop was conducted as 2 separate sessions. A hands-on session was given to all the students to remotely install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in their desktops. After installation the students were introduced to package management using apt-get / ubuntu software center. An interesting thing to note that, more than 30 students purchased Ubuntu DVDs after the workshop. I would like to thank Mr. Harikumar / Placement Officer and HOD/Computer Technology for organising the workshop. Also, in my recent workshops, I noticed ubuntu's default unity interface attracts students community at large. Now I am currently working on a new project named, "Ubuntu Linux Campus" to implement Ubuntu GNU/Linux in more than 2000+ technical institutions across Tamilnadu (only the project is named after Ubuntu, and we will be supporting all other major distributions as well, so no distro controversies here). I am sure that this initiative would definitely become huge success if it is well planned / supported. I am very eager to hear from ILUG-C / other community members on this. Regards S. Baskar CEO/LinuXpert Systems _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
