It is good that you are planning some presentation on the origin and evolution of Free Software. Philosophy and history of Free Software are important. But I hope you are also planning some technical talks or workshops related to GNU/Linux or GNU Hurd or Free BSD. Being an engineering college, I would think that such things are also important. A workshop on something like Python, gcc or cvs would be good. Especially in Kerala, I think the time has come to talk more about the technology because there is much more awareness about Free Software than in any other part of the country, though we may be lagging in our contribution to Free Software. So let us start talking about the technology also along with the philosophy, and start thinking about contributing to Free Software.
Personally, I am not a technologist, but I could do a short workshop on LaTeX if people are interested (which I doubt). Perhaps, someone could do an introductory Python workshop. I am sure you will be able to find someone on this list itself who could do a good workshop on one of the technologies used in the Free world. Best Sasi -- V.
