Hi Linuxers,
Yesterday we celebrated belated SFD'06 at DAVV, auditorium, Indore. It was
well attended by over 1000+ participants from more than 25 colleges of
Indore.
Function was presided by Mr P K Jain and Dr A K Singh was our guest of
honour. Event started at sharp 11:30 AM. After welcome speech by Vikas,
both the guests graced the event by their thought provoking speech.
Next was a presentation on Linux and FOSS by me. It was well received by
audience. It lasted about 2 and half hour. I demonstrated some cool features
of Linux and explained the philosophy behind Linux and OSS over all. I also
discussed some points about hacker culture. I demonstrated Live Hindi Linux
distribution, "Rangoli" by IndLinux group. Audience was thrilled to see it.
Next I demonstrated Mepis Live Linux distribution. I played some games too
on it. :-) Then installation of Live CD was demonstrated.
After it we screened first Open source animation movie, "Elephants Dream" ,
to showcase the animation capabilities of open source 3D animation software
blander. It was amazing experience for audience. Then we took a 30 min
break.
Next session started about 3:15 and we screened "Revolution OS" . It was
also well received by the audience. After this I discussed some development
tools like Anjuta, eclipse, Qt designer etc. And also explained the
possibilities in programming on Linux. That was very informative session
and most of the audience was convinced to work on Linux to complete their
day to day programming assignments.
Next was the most interesting and most interactive session, " Quiz Time " .
We asked questions based on Linux and OSS, and distributed prizes to the
winners. It was really nice to see the enthu of the audience.
Event was concluded by a vote of thanks by me. We called upon all the
volunteers on the stage and introduced them the audience. Some more guys
also joined the LUG Core team at this moment from the audience. It was such
a moving moment to see the dedication of the volunteers to LUG-Indore.
Thanks a ton guys !
