Machines roll out at Bijra High school
by subhodip biswas 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hi ! Many of you may be aware of Bijra High School Project [http://www.dgplug.org/intro/bijra] [http://bijra.dgplug.org] of dgplug [http://www.dgplug.org] . On 15th November 2007 we had a grand inauguration of the project. The initial idea was to open the world of computing to poor students . This has been done using completely free and opensource softwares. WBUT (West Bengal University of Technology ) and L2C2 Technology lend us a helping by providing few computers to the school. An LTSP server running fedora 7 along with few old PIII machines has been deployed. Not only that as most students lack proper English knowledge so the whole implementation has been done using bengali (native language ) BN_IN locale . The area also lack a proper internet connection so kiwix (offline wikipedia), wordnet (a dictionary dump) , project gutenburg dvd dump ( collection of english classics) are among the few softwares implemented to provide a complete education setup . So this help them not only in learning computers but also in computer aided learning. -- Regards Subhodip Biswas Fedora ambassador West Bengal, India GPG key : FAEA34AB Server : pgp.mit.edu http://subhodipbiswas.wordpress.com http:/www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SubhodipBiswas
