hi,
we have finalised arrangements to host the NRC-FOSS node in mumbai at
VJTI. VJTI is giving us a lab with 30 machines and space for holding
meetings, seminars, classes etc as well as an office. The node will
be coordinated by Professor Jitendra Shah from the VJTI end and
Mrugesh Karnik from the community end. Mrugesh is currently working
along with Pradeepto, Vihan and Anurag on this. We are sure that many
more community people will come forward to support this. The
facilities will be available for any foss activity including lug,
fsug meetings, seminars, course etc etc. The node will also help
coordinate spreading of FOSS in colleges and schools in the state as
well as help NRC-FOSS in it's task of getting FOSS into the
curriculum of engineering colleges in the state. An important part of
the activity will be to encourage and foster the development of FOSS
code in the area. You may contact the node at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kbc.org. Physical location and contact details will be given as and
when they are set up.
