Hi All, Sampada Community is happy to announce Gnu/Linux Habba v3. This time we are @ NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte (60km's from Mangalore) on 7th February. The event aims to: * Create awareness and share information about Free and Open Source Software. * Clarify doubts regarding availability, philosophy, usage related issues, to the extent possible. * Explore GNU/Linux and its tools with education as an aspect. * Distribute GNU/Linux distributions for people to try it out. (Free CDs, no cost involved) * Help people install GNU/Linux on their machines (laptops @ venue). * Help people configure and optimize GNU/Linux installations for using Kannada. * Answer queries pertaining to usage of Kannada on the GNU/Linux platform, to the best of our knowledge. * Help people to avoid proprietary lock-ins. GNU/Linux Habba was started in Bangalore with its first edition in April 2008 by volunteers of Sampada Community (http://sampada.net) to not only spread the word about free software, but also to introduce GNU/Linux to the non-technical computer users. The first edition organized at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore received tremendous response with more than 377 registrations running up to the event. Many participants installed GNU/Linux on their Desktops/Laptops and learnt how to use Kannada on it. From NGOs to Public sector officials keen to learn more about GNU/Linux - many people participated in the event. Following the success of the first edition, the group of volunteers behind the event decided to extend the festival to other cities in Karnataka, starting with Mysore. The second edition of GNU/Linux Habba (http://habba.in) was held on 21st September, 2008 at Physics Department, University of Mysore. Following the overwhelming response to the event, we have decided to enable users to work with Gnu/Linux at Mangalore.
