Hi all,
I am a student of S K Somaiya College of Arts, Science and Commerce. We are
having our annual festival between 12th to 17th December 2005 combining all
the sections of the college which includes Department of Computer Science and
I. T.
On this occasion, I would like to have a seminar on GNU/Linux for encouraging
the usage of GNU/Linux among my college students. I invite,
anyone in the list whoever would like to conduct this seminar with reference to
the following points with some experience in the industry.
1) What is Linux (Kernel, history, Linus Torvalds, Free Software is exactly?)
2) Why Linux? (Comparison with Windows, Security, Reliability, Features)
3) The X-Window System and Desktop Environments (GNOME, KDE)
4) Basic tips, Do's and Don't for installing and using Linux and Hardware
Compatibility Details
5) Reducing Software Piracy and encouraging usage of Licensed Software and/or
using GNU/Linux and software available from internet (website links)
The target audience of students could be between 100 - 120.
Though I haven't found any sponsors for the CD, I wish to distribute Free CD's
(Knoppix 3.6 or 3.9, Ubuntu, Damn Small Linux [any one] ) to all those who
attend this seminar and/or give them away as prizes by conducting a quiz at
the end of the seminar to get a feedback of the seminar . Ofcourse, the CD's
will
be burnt on the blank CD-R's available in the market.
If there are any sponsors interested, kindly let me know.
Kindly let me know before 3rd or 4th December as prior arrangements of LCD /
Classroom, other permissions etc have to be made.
Awaiting a positive response.
Roshan
