dear all, and sudhanwa, just got this email from one of the coordinators of pune linux user group.
-----Forwarded Message----- > From: Sudhanwa Jogalekar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Hi > Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2003 23:02:25 +0530 > > Hi, > > How are the things in Delhi? > > We have been using your "7 steps to samadhi" as a starter document for > newbie trainings. People are really liking it. [snip] *** would be nice if ashwin and/or others could respond to sudhanwa and share with him notes, summaries, of the the linux-newbie meet organized by ilug-d this sunday, based around the 7steps2samadhi as well. thus a concerted initiative can be created across india, on how to organize and fine-tune successful initiatives for linux newbies. this could actually take the form of a publicly available document created by ashwin, sudhanwa, and others, under the FDL, on 'howto organize a successful linux newbie meet in india, for migrating from windoze to gnulinux.' i can provide two tips: 1) be bilingual. [i use Hinglish (english+hindi) deliberately in presentations to establish a rapport with people who enter a room frightened out of their wits that they may just be bombarded with a lot of techno-english jargon babble. other places in india, we could use english + *, where * = tamil, punjabi, gujrati, bengali, kannada, oriyan, marathi....] 2) use some humour and wit. laugh your way to linux. makes the journey more fun and interesting. :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
