Hi Gora,
Can you conduct a similar workshop in BITS-Pilani (Birla Inst. of Tech & Sc, Pilani) ? I am the head of the BITS-Pilani Student Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). We wish to encourage the use of Linux in BITS Pilani and also create an awareness towards the world of Open Source. We are in the process of opening a Ubuntu LoCo (Local Community) in BITS, and a similar kind of workshop would be great for the launch event. Thanks & Regards, Prakhar Agrawal Chairman, BITS-Pilani ACM Student Chapter On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 12:03 PM, Gora Mohanty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > The workshop at the Inderprastha Engineering College, Sahibabad > was a great success.
