I was thinking of proposing squeak as the computer language in my school instead of QBASIC (yeah, I survived QBASIC).

Re: [ilugd] Future events meet
Greetings all! When you say targeting a college or school audience, do you mean trying to tell them all about the philosophy of Linux or sell it across to them as an alternative, fun filled OS which offers a lot more to them than Windows ever did? :) Plus, is anyone using Squeak (www.squeak.org) for something constructive? In school, college or whatever. Any concrete applications for it? ``keeda'' for Thukpa (soup w/ noodles). Tried to find, no luck, finally had momos at the shack next to PVR; OK momos, killer chili chutney. Try the resturaunt at Sikkim House, for some delicious tibetan-chinese food. Authentic stuff, not bland and at amazingly affordable prices. FYI, Sikkim house is located right next to the US Embassy road. Just approach it from Hotel Ashok, its to your right. (An ornate building which looks like something out of the Last Emperor..). Lok for some rather rotten sandwiches and stuff at the Irish joint there -- avoid it like the plague, their food pretty much sucks. Ever tried Shepherd's Pie there? It looks and smells good, but if you don't have a strong stomach for it... 'nuff said ;) Cheers!

Bharti Vidya Mandir (I hope I got that right) Gwalior, clubbed with Scindia School trip, one day, sort of another LDD. Target audience is colleges in Gwalior. bravo 4. NSIT, Delhi, December. 2 days demos, talks, quizzes, etc. Target audience is some 3000 technical colleges all across the country who'd be attending a national event at NSIT at the same time. bravo [snip] please count me in: i wish to share two or three things i consider rather important for academia in india: 1) guerrilla warfare for gyaan. [find the whitepaper on linux-delhi.org downloads] 2) 7steps, version 2 (or maybe 3) and with vivek audio/sound/music once in a while: other fun stuff, like videolan. depending on the event, we'll pick one or two. but the first one is the most important i feel. the dates have to be specific, as i have a very very tight schedule all thru jan 13. whenever i can, i will make it for the events. :-) LL ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

[ilugd] Future events meet
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Quick update on the future event meet today (Sunday 10th). Participants: Manpreet, Kishore, Satyakam and yours truly. Events coming up that we're looking at: 1. Navy Public School, Delhi, between 17 and 22 November. 1/2 day seminar, full day demo. Sort of like another LDD. Target audience is school students and teachers. 2. Scindia School, Gwalior, I or II week of November. 2 days including talks, demos, quizzes, any other exciting events you can think of. Target audience is primarily students, would like to conduct some training for teachers too. 3. Bharti Vidya Mandir (I hope I got that right) Gwalior, clubbed with Scindia School trip, one day, sort of another LDD. Target audience is colleges in Gwalior. 4. NSIT, Delhi, December. 2 days demos, talks, quizzes, etc. Target audience is some 3000 technical colleges all across the country who'd be attending a national event at NSIT at the same time. We are proposing talking to Linux vendors for supporting us. If you are a vendor, the deal is: you get branding and space at the event. In return, you can make CDs available, you cannot promote proprietary software at the event or in follow-ups, and you must organise free training and a Linux installation (using free software only) for any school/college that approaches you at the event. Does that sound like a good deal? You're welcome to charge for support and services subsequently. Rest of it: After various kinds of comestibles (coffees, teas, sandwiches, cakes) at Cafe Coffee Day we got a ``keeda'' for Thukpa (soup w/ noodles). Tried to find, no luck, finally had momos at the shack next to PVR; OK momos, killer chili chutney. Went on to Vasant Lok for some rather rotten sandwiches and stuff at the Irish joint there -- avoid it like the plague, their food pretty much sucks. Finally ended up at Priya for Collateral, which wasn't bad at all. On the way from PVR to Priya, Kishore had to brake hard to avoid running over a little dog. Unfortunately, the chap behind us couldn't brake that fast and we got rammed in the back of the car. Shook head sadly and carried on, until a couple of hundred meters down the road when some scraping noise at the read caused Kishore to pull over to the side of the road to investigate. The chap in the Santro who'd rammed us also pulled over for some reason and started walking up to us. Lo and behold, it turns out to be Akshay Lamba of Bharti! Well, I guess if you have to be rammed by someone let it be a friend rather than a complete stranger; a couple of KM down the line we ourselves rammed (quite gently) into an auntie at the traffic signal. She didn't look happy, but she drove on regardless, figuring that it wasn't worth it tangling with 2 obvious criminal-looking types like K and I :) Thoughts welcome.
