Subject: [blug-tech] Attention all Students
To: Linux Bangalore/2005 <linux-bangalore-2005(a)yahoogroups.com>
You will remember that a while back, we mentioned that we would be doing
something for students.
If you are a student whose college falls under the VTU, then the following
will be of great interest to you:
http://foss.in/2005/students/vtu.php
It basically is a letter from the VTU, requesting your college to allow
you to attend the event (i.e. without penalty of attendance).
This letter has already been sent to 120 colleges in and around Bangalore,
and your principals should be in receipt of this.
What this basically means is that FOSS.IN/2005 <http://FOSS.IN/2005> is now
recognised by the
VTU, and that you should both attend it, as well as participate in any way
you can (whether as volunteer, delegate, exhibitor in the FOSS projects
expo, etc.).
To claim attendance, you have to show proof of having attended the event -
your delegate fee receipt will be accepted as such.
Many thanks to the VTU for this recognition, and tons of thanks to Gopi
for arranging this.

Hi All,
Please consider this as a request for participation/help.
We have communication from FOSS.IN about having space for us.
1. We have got the initial list of posters( in soft copy).
Some of the material is arriving by snail mail.
2. We would put a machine with GNU/Hurd.
Praveen has already volunteered to get on top of this.
3. We would need 2 people to be there to look after the place as well.
4. Banners for FSUG, Bangalore --> any takers
5. Looking for a place to get the posters/leaflets printed.
Anything else to add.
Thanks and Regards
Kanti

Subject: FOSS training in Bangalore

Offline Offline
Servelots Infotech Private Limited (www.pantoto.com)
provides web services to Small to Medium Enterprises
(SME's) that enables them to manage their information
and communication in a very cost effective and user
friendly way.
At Servelots, we have learned that the Free and Open
Source technologies have greatly enhanced our ability
to develop software. Our motivation for training is to
spread the awareness of Free and Open Source Software
(FOSS) for two reasons:
1. To develop better code
2. These tools will themselves get even better as more
people will use them effectively.
Instructor
----------
Jason Stewart, a PhD in Computer Science, is an
international trainer and a sofware developer.
He has been working in the open source development
community for 15 years and has managed a number of
large software projects using open source
technologies.
While in Bangalore, Jason has been assisting software
organizations to streamline their project management
and software development, and has discovered the
importance of educating the Bangalore IT community to
the advantages of using the existing open source
technologies in their projects.
Jason brings to these courses his energy, enthusiasm,
and humor as well as a firm belief that using these
tools and techniques will make the life of a software
developer easier and more enjoyable.
About the courses
-----------------
The courses being offered are hands on, with a mix of
lecture and computer work - so that developers can
practice what they are learning, while they are
learning.
An online resource center will be available for
distributing the course materials and interacting with
students and faculty - before, during and after the
course.
Introductory offers from Servelots
-----------------------------------
Subversion for 3.5 hrs of class on
Nov 8th (2.00 p.m - 6 p.m)
Rs 1,000/person
Ant for 3.5 hrs of class on
Nov 9th (2:00 p.m - 6 p.m)
Rs 1,000/person
Hibernate for 7 hrs of class on
Nov 11th (9.00 a.m - 6 p.m)
Rs 1,500/person
------------------
Source code management (SCM) using Subversion (Svn)
Subversion has become the replacement for the
universally used CVS.
Course will cover the following topics:
-- svn working methodology
-- retrieving code from a repository
-- committing code to a repository
-- working with tags and branches
-- tools (diff, log, blame, ...)
-- merging different code branches
-- repository maintenance
-----------
Java project management using Apache Ant
Ant is an open-source Java-based build tool from the
Apache Software Foundation. It's rapidly become the
de-facto build tool for J2EE projects, so for
developers, it's certainly worth becoming familiar
with
the basics of Ant.
Course will cover the following topics:
-- Java project organization (files, directory
structure)
-- organizing Ant (build.properties, build.xml)
-- creating Ant targets with dependencies
-- integrating other tools (svn, junit, checkstyle,
...)
-- using Ant as more than just a build tool
(deployment,
documentation, unit testing, style checking)
-----------
Object-relational mapping with Hibernate (Essentials)
Hibernate is a powerful, ultra-high performance
object/relational persistence and query service for
Java. Hibernate lets you develop persistent classes
following common Java idiom - including association,
inheritance, polymorphism, composition, and the Java
collections framework.
Course will cover the following topics:
-- integration with Ant
-- creating new persistent classes
-- loading and storing objects
-- using the hibernate transaction model
-- mapping complex object relationships
Topics that will be introduced, but not covered in
detail including integration with Eclipse IDE, mapping
legacy DB projects and code optimization. These topics
will be covered in more detail in our advanced
Hibernate course. Hibernate course will assume
knowledge of Ant.
------------------
Discounts of 25% for Multiple Courses, Groups of 3 or
more, or for a FOSS software developer. (Discuss
discounts while registering for the courses.)
For all courses, tea will be provided during the
breaks, but lunch is not provided.
