Hello all FOSS lovers, Birla Vishvakarma Mahavidyalaya (BVM) Engineering College is the first Engineering College of Gujarat state (Estd in 1948). It is a Govt Aided college. It is one of the 190 institutes nationwide selected under the Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme phase - II (TEQIP-II) project. I am a faculty member in the Computer Engineering Department of this institute since July 1998.
Our institute is planning to organize a (one or) two week Short Term Training Programme (STTP) on 'Free and Open Source Software for Engineering Applications' (tentatively titled so). The planned duration is the last (one or) two weeks of June 2015. Following topics (not limited to these only, of course) are planned to be covered along with tentative duration devoted to each: - *Linux Desktop Applications* (Different distros, Open office / Libre office, browsers, etc...) (0.5 day) - *Linux system administration*: Package installation, installing / maintaining web server (1 to 1.5 day) - *Scilab* (2 days) - *Latex* (2 days) - Xfig / dia (0.5 to 1 day) - Gnuplot (0.5 day) - *Moodle* for academic purpose (1 day) - Python (0.5 day) - GIMP (0.5 day) The targeted audience: Faculty members of different disciplines (not only Computer/IT) and a few industry persons. The planned number of participants is up to 60. This email is to seek suggestions from all FOSS lovers for augmenting above list with more topics that are relevant to the targeted audience mentioned above. It will be further appreciated if some of you are willing to deliver talk as expert speakers (*preferably from Gujarat*) in this STTP. (Note: We have already identified experts for the bold-highlighted topics.) You may also suggest names of other such experts you may be knowing. (Needless to say, TA/DA and honorarium will be paid as per norms.)
