Today whenever we arrange any seminar or workshop on FOSS the first question which strikes our mind is about the crowd. How many are going to come ?? Arranging this workshop is worth?? The reason is that eventhough today FOSS Community is not reachable to most of the commons, the people who are already in this community only they get the news regarding the events,meetups and most of them are not interested to share that. FOSS events are the first step to enter these communities, looking and listening hackers live creates an enthusiasm and people become FOSS lovers like you and me. Could you imagine for FOSS community only on IRC's and mailing groups without any FOSS event?? To increase our reach we need a common Social Media.
So, from this september month iftytech labs introduced a non-profit section that is a social media for the FOSS Events(http://iftytech.com/node/6). The idea behind this is to promote open as well closed events through social media so tht people in remote location can reach the event online or offline. This concept can turn a closed and local event into a global one and will create a competition sort of thing among small colleges in organizing such events and which is good for the FOSS Community. iftytech labs request you to share the information of any FOSS event,meetups, workshops in around you to us, we will promote that and we will try to reach there to cover the event and to create after event job. You can share information simply on : iftytech[AT]gmail[DOT]com Promoting this social media is quite simple on Facebook :http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/iftytech-labs/140462002634942 on twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/iftytech_labs Regards -- "Feel Free as in Freedom,Freedom is the only law" "Until the next time, keep living in victory everyday" ------------------------------------------------------- Victoriously, Vinay G Singh Rawat iftytech labs www.iftytech.com ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
