I am not a software - coder - person. I am willing to help in any way - NO COMMERCIALS at all.
I am at chennai - loving to use UBUNTU - from 9.04 onwards - still using 10.04 (just because of Gnome 2.0) you can use me in any way - for Linux Propagation, etc. In the meanwhile - KV-IIT may want to have some courses - for 10 / 11 / 12 - basically either Python / Ruby or equivalent. If any one is interested let us provide that too. with warm regards s.sivakumar 9884827817 On Sat, Mar 8, 2014 at 9:09 AM, Baskar Selvaraj <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > The Engineering colleges in Tamilnadu have started moving from > Proprietary operating system to GNU/Linux operating system. > > We have setup Fedora-20 based Open source lab in more than 15+ > engineering colleges after its final release on December 17, 2013. > The latest version of Fedora has attracted many of the colleges > towards GNU/Linux platform and most colleges have decided to migrate > atleast 50% of computers using Linux in all departments (one of the > engineering college located within Chennai city has already migrated > 10% of computers completely to Fedora-20 and would switch another 40% > by the end of March ' 2014). > > After interacting with several engineering college management > authorities, I found that, the colleges were no more interested in > paying for software license for proprietary software and therefore > decided to migrate to Linux platform and train all the faculty members > for using them. > > Hence, based on the feedback and response we got from colleges, we > have decided to setup more than 100+ FOSS Labs on April 8th, 2014. > > We are looking for volunteers support who can support this initiative. > Any monetary benefits we receive from colleges would be shared with > the volunteers. > > I am ready to offer FREE training / resources for the volunteers who > wish to support this initiative. > > Would like to hear your thoughts / ideas. > > -- > S.
