Hello All, As you can read from Sanal Kumar Sir's report, the program was a great success. It was ILUG Cochins first active participation at the school level and we are happy that the students received it well. The best feedback we got was when several students asked us "When we would come back ? " . When I asked them when do they want us to come, they said "next week". Its probably the best indication as far as the output of the event was concerned. The presence of people like Pramod Sir (MCA Department Head, CUSAT) brought about a gathering of people who valued freedom more than convenience. It is always said that students always learn quicker, we saw it for real when they started working flawlessly with Blender in the first session by Zadeek, when many people talk about the complexity of the interface. I think it reiterates the point that "its our brain that makes things difficult". The second session on Inkscape by Sreenadh was on a tight schedule, but this is not stop the young ones from demonstrating their learning abilities and artistic skills. The press coverage has been very good, thanks to Anandan from the Hindu (who was present at the final session with teachers) and Basheer from Mathrubhumi, who has been supporting us all the while. http://www.hindu.com/2009/02/12/stories/2009021250610200.htm Thanks to them two other schools in the district have already requested us for conducting similar events at their place. This event although small has been a feather in cap for ILUG Cochin. A community becomes a community, when it interacts with the society at every level and ILUG Cochin has been doing that all the while. Our campaign for teachers has got a boost with the program and we hope to take forward the campaign to every nook of the district and the state. Of course this can only be achieved with the active participation of each every individual in the community. Sanal Kumar Sir who has been the brain behind the campaign and the programme has helped ILUG Cochin to reach new heights. Indeed without him our campaign would never have got off. His vision and hard work has made the program a grand success. JJ, Zadeek and Sreenadh even in spite of the very tight schedules came and handled presentations. Unfortunately Binny could not make it. Thank You Regards Sameer Mohamed Thahir On Wednesday 11 February 2009 08:19 PM, sanalkumar mr wrote:
