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.
With
Best Regards,
