HI Ashwin, This is Krishnakant from Mumbai. I am a part of group called fossers which specialises exactly in the kind of activity you were talking about. We have done more than 10 workshops with students and teachers with colleges like Vidhya Vardhini, KC college, SNDT, RVCE Banglore, organisations like Electronic Corporation of Tamilnadu and a few schools in Nasik and Kerala. I and one of my colligue also did a couple of workshops in Malaysia off late. Almost al the people were absolutely new to gnu/linux and many were even resistant when we did such workshops. But the results have been ausom in almost all such workshops. You can contact me off the list so that we can discuss this further. I have also started to put up a wiki for our group. The current page is at http://fossers.wikispot.org and i also have a blog on blogspot. Infact I think we will soon have the critical mass for a huge workshop in a weeks time because I too am getting many requests. happy hacking. Krishnakant. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
