Hi,

An event was organized at Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2 AFS[1], Jodhpur, Rajasthan on Tuesday, 30 April, 2013. 

The day started with the discussion about why software piracy is done specially of operating system, why we are unable to learn the software we use or modify it, which was followed by “Introduction to Open Source”. I discussed about advantages of open source and explained the concept of “Free Software” to them which was followed by “Why to use Free Software”. I told them about about various free software which can used in by them like Libre office, GIMP, gedit. I also discussed advantages of FOSS in a student's learning.
 After a few minutes break, I continued with “Introduction to Fedora” to them and advantages of Fedora was discussed with them. I introduced the audience with Fedora's website and also I gave demo of Fedora 17 and Fedora 18 to them. It was followed with a hand-on lab session which included “How to install Fedora” and then students were left to experience Fedora for few minutes. After that a Q/A session was there in which various queries of the students were answered. I also distributed Fedora 17 and Fedora 18 iso images.

I would sincerely like to thank Mr. Rohit Gupta who helped me through out the session.

The photos taken during the event are available on my blog[2].

Regards,
Navneet Singh
