Hi,
Tomo 3.00pm is the FOSS-EDU meet at (PESIT) Tea House. Its near Devegowda Petrol Bunk a few meters from Sagar Apollo Clinic. There is a Planet Bajaj Showroom too.
Tea House is some 2-3kms from Banashankari Bus Terminal. Its a straight
drive from Banashankari Bus Terminal on Ring Road ( 100 ft). Landmark
is DEVEGOWDA PETROL BUNK
where tea house is located. This petrol bunk is a very popular
landmark. It will take some 20 mins from Jaynagar to reach there. If u
are coming from MG Road area, take the Mysore Road FlyOver so that you
dont get confused. Come straight on Mysore Road and then take a left to
Ring Road.
The focus is how to involve students in the FOSS process.
Updated list of topics
* Create apt/yum/portage repos for currently available education tools
* Help students to select foss projects as part of academic requirement.
* Workout a schedule to conduct workshops and learn foss education tools
