This is not free beer. The trainers will be paid by the college.
Many colleges had bad experience with many commercial entities.
This professor has some keen interest in promoting FOSS. Almost all the CS
students are already trained in basic Linux. He also made his students to
contribute to spoken tutorials project.
He has offered us place and facilities for any event that ILUGC will be hosting
including monthly meetings.
I am afraid by needless discussions we have reduced our standings in his view.
