Hi there...
I had thought about it. I m presently in 4th year of computer
engg. Few of my classmates thought that we should do something to the cause
of Linux. So we cooperated with our faculty teachers and arranged a
workshop for Linux in our college. It was a great experience for all other
students and also to some of our teachers. This helped many of our juniors
to start using linux.
People are not aware of the potentials of Linux. So they want to
stick to windoze. Making them realize the potentials of Linux will help the
spreading of Linux in India......
