Hempal Dai, It is a very good plan and i really like the plan to call Rajesh Dai for his experience sharing as it can be a big morale boost. But we need to decide on the content that we are going to put up in the seminar, as the crowd/participants that we are targetting are novoice students with no formal FOSS experience. Second thing, we could probably include both your no. 3 to make it to single session for 40 min, and empasize more on the stories of success and failure so that we can ooowww them about the posibilities. I say this because we Nepalese have an inherent habit of looking to others countries for anything before we implement it in ours. So this might be important and has to be done by someone who can "ooowww" the participants.
Next thing, are we distributing any goodies or not, the Bellasap's FOSS toolkit looks good, so if the guys there at SXC agree then we can sell those for nominal price there along with some Linux distros and open cd, after the seminar so that they atleast start with FOSS. This thing is necessary as the seminar will have instilled a new zeal for FOSS in the participants. Thank You. And yes Akash it's on 10th of Feb, if you didn'tgo through the first mail in the thread.
