only a handful of those ppl who attended the
workshop are actually in touch with linux as of now and the rest have just
forgotten it... reason-- those ppl were from the auto mobile branch and most of
the comp branch guys didnt know abt it.
we plan to do it exclusively for the
comp sc. students who need things like these(as a part of there cirriculum).

we are from the lot that were there for the
workshop and are very thankful to trevor and dr nag to introduce us to something
as kewl as linux. but we are starters. we arent so well off with things that we
can explain it to other ppl. i agree that we can introduce linux to ppl, but we
wud need some experts to make things crystal clear and also to set up a fully
equiped lab..
we have done as much as we cud by setting up a lab with a
server for ftp and telnet but more needs to be done.
we ourselves are having
a few probs to which we need solutions..
SO PLZ I SUGGEST THAT LETS MAKE IT A
COMBINED EFFORT, WE'LL HELP THE EXPERTS THAT COME BY TAKING UP PORTIONS OF THE
WORKSHOP THAT WE ARE CONFIDENT WITH... I ALSO PROMISE A VERY GOOD RESPONSE
THIS TIME.
