hi all

ashok had mailed calling for speakers and idea for the workshop at Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engg College abt GNU/Linux awareness, but its strange to get a luke warm response from the list.

If there is any plan to distribute CD's during the event, I can take the responsibility of burning some. I would need the original CD though(can't download the images on my bandwidth).

1. Understanding the Software Freedom Murder of the Myths
2. Getting around with GNU - will talk about OS basics, GNU/Linux

CLI and Desktops. 3) Installing a dual boot GNU/Linux System - redhat and/or knoppix. 4) Wonders of GNU - Where and how is GNU being used. How can students benifit ?

1. Text editing with VI and Emacs and programming in Shell

Scripts in Bash and C with GCC.

1. or maybe we will have will have QT programming or something

around gui 2) Basics of System Administration and networking. 4) Intro to Apache and writing small CGI applications using PHP.

People will usually be ready to try out an OS, if they know how to get their basic work done, like checking e-mail, using office apps etc. One session should probably be dedicated to this. How to customise your OS, connect to the Net, check mail, intro to a decent office app etc. Day to day activities.

Regards, Nikhil.
