The hosting of the workshop is more or less confirmed. I talked to the
Fest Committee members today and they are looking forward to the
event. Here are the details of the Tech Fest:
1. Duration: 2 days
2. Dates: 28th and 29th August, 2008
3. Venue: RCC Institute of Information Technology Campus/ Beliaghata/
Kolkata -15
4. Expected attendance: anything between 500 to 800. May go up to 1000.
You can choose any of the two days. (I personally prefer the first
day, 28th August).
Any clarifications can be addressed to <regalia2008(a)rediffmail.com> or to me.
I have also provided your email id to the Fest Committee.

Subject: [ILUG-BOM] Need Live CD Focused on "Education"

Hi All,
Around 2-3 Years back I handed over a "EduMorphix" CD to a kid.
Recently I was surprised to find her using it even till date.
I noticed that most of the applications on it are quite old compared with
the versions that my daughter plays with.
I want to give her a Live-CD with updated software since I cannot install
anything on her dad's machine.
Unfortunately EduMorphix does not exists anymore.
EduMorphix was just perfect, I dont know why they decided to dis-continue
it.
Freeduc (http://www.ofset.org/freeduc-cd) is not updated in a long time
either
There is no Live CD for edubuntu.
I am looking for any distibution including at least "TuxPaint", "TuxMath"
and "gCompris".
Can someone suggest a live CD focused on Education?
Regards
Aseem

Hi,
For all the events that you are participating in, please create a wiki
page under
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events
A note is fine for a start but more information is useful for
transparent planning and promotion. Many of this events are recurring on
a yearly basis and it is great to have a track of what has been done in
the past and learn from that.
Also some of the questions you get from the audience tends to be
repetitive and we have tried to address many of those in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overviewhttp://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Presentations
It would be useful to make sure you are familiar with these and upload
your presentations if any to the page too. If you have questions, feel
free to voice them.
Rahul

Happy hacking,

I had a few questions:
o how well placed is Fedora for being a daily-use system for those who
are visually challenged
- installation
- daily usage
o is there an assessment of what bits are missing
o how well do the software lend themselves to be used
all this is leading up to the question of can a 'spin' be conceived
