for a start there is excellent online courses (2 in number) available on http://www.linux.org/. these are introductory & intermiediate level courses. perhaps you can take a look & see if you find them useful for our meet in Dec.
cheers Anuj

Dear all,
We hope to make a small beginning in the right direction with regards to the theme-based ILUGD meets. The next meet on 21 Dec 03 Sunday (timings later) at :-
B6, Raksha Bhawan, Man Singh Rd (opposite Indira Kala Kendra) (between Rajpath and Andhra Pradesh Bhawan.
The theme is - Helping GNUbies.
The following are planned :-
* An introductory talk on the Linux Movement.
* To show Linux on a machine and how the utilities can be easily used :- Openoffice.org, xmms,mozilla, evolution, A game.
* To show a simple install of a Linux Distribution.
* To show them some books, resources available so that they are aware.
* Showcase some of the steps of LL's Formula For Freedom based Samadhi or should it be Nirvana?
* To keep a few Knoppix etc CDS available for sale.
* To allow them to meet some of 'the Gang', who can answer some questions.
How all of you can help!
* With ideas. We crystallise by say 01Dec and execute after that.
* With participation - Though I'm a Linux enthusiast, I live in the Windows world of Government - I'm not a day to day user of Linux - though I hope to be in my next posting/appointment. I need help with each aspect of the above.
* With help - Volunteers required please who can showcase the install, the use of the Seven Steps to Samadhi programmes, speak on Newbie topics.
* With resources - For example, I'd appreciate if you can bring some Linux books, CDs or something to the meet to show/inspire/educate the Newbie.
* By passing the word to Newbies about this Golden Opprtunity - if we can get even say a dozen newbies of whom say even three-four get hooked - we'd have achieved success. Anything more than that would be good success, great success or extraordinary success (depending on how many come .AND. become Linux-lovers).
I'd be able to do a little bit of each of the things I've asked help for - but the success of an ILUGD Meet depends on - how many ILUGDites actually come, and as importantly, how many get 'involved' in organising the meet.
Now, dear ILUGDites - the cat is out of the bag. Let's put our words into action and move forward to make the Meet a success.
PS - I promise to deliver on the Jungle Juice ;-) . Regards, Ashwin

i happened to see this kind of theme based meets in bangaloere. quite
impressed by the presence there. wish i can see something like that
happening in delhi also. i happened to attaend some meets based on "Linux
and WLAN", "embedded Linux", "Indian Languages on Linux" etc. believe me the
presence was >100 in some of the successfull meets. and i believe there
shudn't be any problem in taking some good ideas from somewhere else. may be
we can come out with something little better and spend quality time during
meets.
regards, Puneet
