Hi all,
Am new to ILUG, but this is not a silly idea. I'm a long-time member of WLUG in New Zealand, and they have monthly meetings, as well as workshops for normal people who want to do things such as try out
linux,
install linux on their computers and solve problems.
Infact I was going to propose this because off late I have been invited in many colleges to give a 1 day or 2 day workshop for shifting to gnu/linux (SNDT Joohu is migrating their entire lab to gnu, although I will put up more details on or after 4th).
Hmm, this sounds interesting... Can we work something out on these lines with any of the city colleges?
Also, let's have an installfest soon.. i'll can volunteer my office space(in goregaon East) and infra for it even..
A installfest would only be feasible if there is an adequate demand for people who want Linux on their boxes,but aren't confident enough to do it themselves.Have any people contacted list members with such requests?If so,we can pool these requests to individual members together and hold an installfest,with the added advantage that the newbies will be able to socialize with GLUG members and be reassured about the availability of support.
