[ilugd] Follow-up on ABES, Ghaziabad workshop, 23/8/08
Hi, The workshop last Sat, 23rd Aug., at the ABES Engineering College was a success, with some 100-odd students, faculty from several colleges, and other people in attendance. A fair amount of interest was also generated in ILUG-Delhi, and we will hopefully have more people coming to meetings. I have added copies of presentations to the Wiki page at http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/Main/ABESGhaziabadWorkshop Supreet, and Shantanu, please upload your presentations. I have also added my views on the workshop under the Feedback section of the above page, and would encourage other attendees to do the same. We should have several more workshops in the next few months, and I will be writing up some of my thoughts on such a programme. In the meantime, it would also help if we could have a discussion on how one ensures a continued engagement with the colleges after such workshops.

Hi all, I think workshop was great and would surely motivate some students towards FOSS. What i can think of way of how to get colleges to get into some follow-up work in this direction is that maybe we can target faculty members rather then college as whole. I personally think if FOSS is promoted and used extensively in curriculum itself it will bring more people in this movement. Maybe we can target faculty members, having a workshop for them, asking them from commitments(even we can ask them to promote and encourage taking up projects in FOSS maybe for major projects of final year and mini one too). I remember even we tried to introduce FOSS as subject in our college after one such work shop but our so called senate turned it down :( regards shantanu - This email was sent using SquirrelMail.
