Hey All,

GREETINGS OF THE DAY!

 

Well, here is a little news, that is bright for us, a few Engg. Colleges in Mumbai, are keenly interested in going ahead, and having at least 1 Full Fledged Open Source Lab. ;)

 

And through my contacts, i went ahead and pushed Fedora for the setup, currently the pipeline is at the “talks level”, but is very optimistic.

 

We can look at a time frame of say the mid of may for the ball to be rolling or even before that.

 

We will need the following during the setup phase:-

1.     Complete setup guides, for novice users, which can be given to the lab incharges, along with network install guides and setup disks / Images.

2.     A technical support hand a place where they can post their queries and interact.

3.     And (only if required) someone who can actually go to these colleges and help during the setup.

 

Post the setup of the labs, i expect there to be a requirement of say a training programme for students, in these colleges, or maybe (please pardon my ignorance) something like a fedora camp, or say a fedora centre for Open Minds, etc. Be setup in these colleges... i’m not aware of such programs and would request information from the mentors, on how to go about such a scenario.

 

Hope fully this development will bring us closer to our common goal J.
