[linuxhubli] help related to workshop on FLOSS in an engineering college

[Cherian Thomas]

 [CROSS POSTED] Hi all,             My past experiences as an open source enthusiast in an engineering college has not paid off well when it came to publicizing it. Off the late I was planning about having some seminars, workshops and related stuff pertaining to FLOSS.             Being in a premier institution in south India with Linux and Hurd as the only operating systems in my college, we had pretty high FSF influence. For the past few years my seniors had been organizing several FSF related activities, like seminars on using scilab, install fest, use of condor as a distributed programming tool etc etc.        while this was great, a recent research among my peers showed that they wanted to come back to the basics .These seminars and workshops enlightened only a few.             So after some deliberations we thought we’ll conduct some seminars on very basic topics. Some of the suggested ones were “Doing mini and main projects, the open source way… (here the workshop will be on how to host your project in sourceforge, how to maintain a CVS, prototyping etc)”, “Open source as a career objective...making money out of it”, etc etc.             It would be great if members from this community can help me identify personals that will do such workshops for us. Also suggest us workshops which can have an impact in the learning engineering community.             While inviting Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond or Miguel de Icaza may seem unfeasible, I am confident we can raise funds to invite anyone from Asia.
