We have to change the attitude of students and people, to be ready to try and learn new things. And that is not an easy task. At least in our colleges, we are finding it difficult. That is where evangelism comes into play....and in the beginning you have to spoon-feed them. Even though I also agree, it is always a better idea of promoting through projects. > The fun part is you will never get these guys into the mainstream and > in the end will only waste your effort. So better concentrate on help > people who want to help themselves. If we keep thinking that, we can never achieve. Its like giving up before even trying. And i've seen people transform from 'windoz user' to 'linux geek'...that includes myself. > Concentrate on projects , These words are coming from a vast > experience with college students We are just trying to prepare a good platform for the students, after that we can focus on projects. We dont want to scare them away with words like 'Linux Project'. Thanks for your suggestions though. :) Any other suggestions, ideas are always welcome. :) Regards -- Chirag Anand 4th Year, B.Tech Computer Science Department, JUIT Solan Blog :http://techfreaks4u.com/blog Linux User: 476783 anything weird is worth a try... _______________________________________________ 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]/
