Hi All, I am forwarding a mail I recieved from the organisers of freed.in - a conference of FOSS enthusiasts in the country.
Pl alsdo see this: * *http://freed.in/2009/buzz/the-buzz-across-northern-plains-of-india.html* * I had also attended a meeting of 'Knowledge Commons' where I had talked about the WE - it is surprising that the FOSS community in India is not aware of WE - anyways I have taken it upon myself to meet and talk about WE at every opportunity I get within the FOSS community and the academia (even if they are not exposed to FOSS). So I am basically a WE evangelist !!! <smile> Cheers, Savithri dear dr. savithri singh, congratulations on the successful launch of wikieducator.org/india and thank you for inviting me to its event yesterday. it is also heartening to note how your college is passionately adopting and promoting linux and foss across its campus and fraternity. i was quite impressed to learn about the grid-computing initiatives explored by dr. sanjay chugh (is that his correct name, please?) from the physics dept. it is therefore my privilege and pleasure on behalf of freed.in to invite you and your college to participate and to share at our community event: freed.in 2009. more details at http:freed.in. dr savithri, i'd also like to invite you to please consider submitting a talk on widieducator and to use the opportunity to inspire and motivate the community to adopt and contribute to wikieducator. it would also be wonderful to have dr. sanjay share his enthusiasm for grid computing and foss-adooption in indian academia at the event through a submitted talk. you may find the CallforPapers here: http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Freed2009/CallforPapers finally, we would be very happy to have students from your college volunteering to support and help us with the actual event, apart from attending and spreading the word. could you also please share and promote freed.in with others in your circle, especially some of the people whom we met at the event yesterday and at the workshops at your college last month? i'd like to invite dr. geetha mathur, as well as the professors from other colleges at DU whom we met at your workshop. i don't have their email ids. could you please share them? thanks, and look forward to your response. regards niyam -- Dr. Savithri Singh Principal Acharya Narendra Dev College (University of Delhi) Govindpuri, Kalkaji New Delhi 110 019 Tel: 2629 4542, 2629 3224, 2641 2547 Fax: (011) 2629 4540 Res: 2584 8151 2584 9786 2584 3496 http://andcollege.du.ac.in http://wikieducator.org/Acharya_Narendra_Dev_College http://wikieducator.org/User:Savi.odl http://wikieducator.org/India http://wikieducator.org/India/wikieducator_launch http://www.slideshare.net/singh.savithri --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
