request for speaker for our FOSS festival Mukti 2010
by Roshan Singh 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi all, I am a student from National Institute of Technology, Durgapur. We organise a FOSS festival, Mukti(http://mkti.in) every year. Last year we had some Fedora contributors here during our fest. In continuation with that we are hopeful to get some more speakers from Fedora. 1. I would like to know if we can get to some speaker to show their projects like a small hack session with the hope that we may get some contributors to the project. We will provide the necessary requirement for conducting the session 2. There is a panel discussion around the topic "Free software. Why is it important for students like us to contribute to them. Software Patents.". The number of speakers participating in this event will be 3-4. Date: 5-7 Feb 2010. Timings of all the events are yet to be decided. We are open to suggestions. -- Roshan Kumar Singh http://roshansingh.wordpress.com http://sourceforge.net/projects/gscribble

[Event Report] Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India
by Shakthi Kannan 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hi, I had conducted a one-day Fedora, Free Software workshop at the Bachelor of Computer Applications department, Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (Vadodara), Gujarat, India on Saturday, December 26, 2009. Thanks to VGLUG [1] for coordinating with me for the past few months in organizing this event. I would like to thank the Fedora project for sponsoring the travel. * The BCA department lab systems were equipped to run on Fedora 12, and we used it for couple of the hands-on sessions: - Use of git: di-git-ally managing love letters [2] - Packaging Fedora RPM [3] * I had also addressed the following topics: - i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora [4] - Badam Halwa of Embedded Systems [5] * Participants were from the BCA department, and had also come from Ahmedabad [6]. Vadodara (Baroda) connects to Ahmedabad via a 95km expressway [7]. * Free/Open Source Software is officially included in the Gujarat state school syllabus for higher secondary (XI and XII). In the coming years it is expected to be even introduced from standard VIII. * The Department coordinator and Professor V A Kalamkar is happy to facilitate work between VGLUG, and the students for Free/Open Source Software projects. We hope to have more interaction with them in the future. * VGLUG members are also keen on participating in the Fedora project at various sub-projects of their interests. * Due to the political crisis [8] in Hyderabad, I was uncertain about reaching the Hyderabad airport, and thus making it to the workshop. The bandh was withdrawn for December 25th, and when I made it the airport on the 25th, the scheduled flight was cancelled. So, I had to re-schedule a different flight, but, the airline officials said they couldn't guarantee if I will make it to my connecting flight in Mumbai. This re-scheduled flight got delayed even further. Luckily, my connecting flight also got delayed, and I finally managed to make it to Vadodara. * As customary, here are some photos taken during the trip: http://www.shakthimaan.com/Mambo/gallery/album60 Regards, SK [1] VGLUG. http://www.vglug.info.

Some reading for the meet: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate#IRC http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRC/IRC_Etiquette regards, Ankur PS - dronebl.org keeps banning me saying I'm running a SOCKS server which I'm not. It's something to do with BSNL, I think. In case I get banned from freenode (again), I'll miss the meet :( [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_Fedora_Planet
