We have our Jaypee-LUG at college. We conduct classes for the students that includes installation, basic functionality, troubleshooting etc. We have our official blog at www.techfreaks4u.com and google group at http://groups.google.com/group/juit-linux-user-group started by our seniors. But the group suffers low activity. Main problem is that we are finding it difficult to get good response. Some 100 people turned for our orientation sessions. But eventually they reduced ~30 for the next. In fact i talked to Mr. Gora to give a talk at our college about open source/linux but the event was cancelled and it could not be continued further. The main problem is getting good response even if someone is ready to give some kinda presentation. It will not be worth to come over here and not get a good response. Well, we are planning some programming competitions, install fest and other related activities on the next weekend. As far as the town is concerned, we got a call from a local computer education institute to give a presentation on linux in shimla. But because of lack of volunteers, that could not be done. We need your suggestions to increase linux/open source popularity in our college. Though we are also trying hard for that. ;) Regards -- > anything weird is worth a try... > > Chirag Anand > 4th Year, B.Tech > Computer Science Department, JUIT Solan > > Blog :http://techfreaks4u.com/blog > Linux User: 476783 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
