Re: [Ilugc] ILUGC Monthly Meet (October 8 th)

Then you could have commented after you figured it out. The above comment of WONDERING is unwanted, IMO. But from my imagination I would imagine that 2 talks per meet is what people can take. I guess you assumed that the total meeting time remains the same. But it's not; rather the time for a single talk remains the same (in fact there has been no restriction imposed on time, AFAIK). If you feel the meeting is too long, you are free to attend only the talks that interest you. We want each speaker to spend enough time talking and answering questions. Of course he/she has enough time. -- Vignesh Nandha Kumar ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
[Ilugc] TN Govt. LapTop
Hi, As we all know, the Laptops distributed by the TN govt. is going to have only non-free software. So as a counter measure I had an idea of making posters, banners, hand-outs and brochures, explaining the ill-effects of using windows and the costs involved. Can people who are good in GIMP or Inkscape design such things so that people can distribute it when a laptop distribution ceremony is going on? We would need as many different types or versions of the posters/ banners hand-outs et al to do this. Expecting co-operation and help from all LUG people. Please help to spread the message.

But try to mention as Proprietary software in common as I am having many incidents (bad) that occurred when I simply used the Name of the OS. Especially in the crowd with Microsoft student partners. Can people who are good in GIMP or Inkscape design such things so that people can distribute it when a laptop distribution ceremony is going on? Hope Asking help to Free software foundation and Ubuntu-India teams will give a better help and crowd. A brief explanation about the laptop distribution ceremony will be good so that we can know when and where it is gonna happen.

The scene in the mobile platform - where Nokia was giving only symbian (earlier), was not able to pull-off for more time. People buy Andoid phones because they can do more with it how many are knowing about android now (the users who are using it) Android - Linux connection. Nokia is not able to sell even though microsoft WindowsPhone is being packed along with Nokia - now a days - on high-end phones. When the Student is ready The teacher appears - an old and perennially truthfull statement. Instead of making this a complex issue, it would fetch excellent fruitfull results in the long run. That is what is prompting Ubuntu and all others giving this excellent OS free of cost, and making more efforts to reach people. Our concentration should be to reach more more people, instead of cramming something on their throat. Even if you install linux on the laptop, it is not sure that they will use Linux instead of Microsoft Windows. These students - who are getting educated in colleges / schools - are not dumb, but are made to join the crowd, and at this point of time, it is Microsoft Windows 7, and later 8, etc. If they perceive that Linux is 100 % rewarding for them in the long run they would certainly go for it. How many of us are really helping new people to get solutions in this forum without they getting hurt (no, I am not going to start a war), for their problems. It is still being perceived even by computer users who are more than 10 years of usage, feels that Linux is difficult, and 'getting help is very difficult'. It is this perceived thing that should be taken care off. To make this Linux more interesting, we should organise for people to get trained : Freely of course, Languages like C, etc, and every month simple competitions should be organised in localities, and taking them into State Level (Imagine IPL's Success). Organising a competition - say for 20 people, in basics, database, GIMP, etc should not be difficult - say after 3 months of coaching. A person who is 12 to 18 year old feel much satisfied with a certificate from a body like ILUGC, etc. The competition can be every 2 months, in each place. This will make people / students / parents to encourage people to even think about Linux. we can always find sponsors for these sort of events - in every place.
