Remember, in *some colleges* they remove the setup immediately after the workshop or at the end of the semester. Today an engineering college requested for a FOSS workshop saying that they don't need any hand's on for their students. I simply refused saying I won't do it without hands-on (as they may have thought I would be additionally charging for that. I have never charged for the lab setup for any of the workshops I have done so far). After the assurance that the lab setup will be done FREE of COST, now, they have agreed to conduct with hands-on sessions. It's up to the institutions to continue using it, or remove it. We want all participants to practice hands-on in all the workshops we conduct. -- S.
