Great Ajay, glad you taking this initiative. I am in Mohali and in
contact with some   colleges around Chandigarh.  There is also a
Chandigarh Lug,  www.linuxchandigarh.org , where people would be
willing to help.
My cell no is 9876182851

Thanks Kenneth and NRC-FOSS for the support, 'we' really need it to
convince the managements.

regards
Jasbir

[ilugd] FOSS Workshops [Was: Re: Minutes of August ILUGD meet]

2007-08-25 Thread Ajay Kumar
Glad to see some movement on the list.

While there were many takers for the need to have a lug meeting
dedicated to content creation and digital learning, the supporters for
evangelism were not very vocal. I personally think that the lug should
have a brainstorming session for "spreading the awareness".

And going to engineering colleges can serve both the purposes. They are
in education, are technically inclined :), and are going to benefit the
most from advances in opensource software. They could also be
instrumental in creating educational content if the right message is
sent out.

LUG / Kenneth/ Dr. Srinivasan, I know of a few engineering colleges in
Chandigarh that would be interested. I am sure some of them would also
be happy to host such an event. Coincidentally, I'll be traveling to the
place sometime soon. If the LUG and NRC-FOSS are keen, should I pursue
the matter with them?

Cheers,
Ajay
