[ilugd] Invitation for a talk at NSIT
Dear all, I, a student at NSIT, would like to invite ILUG members for a talk on Linux in general and freed in particular at NSIT on 5th September, Wednesday, 3:30 - 5:30 P.M. Many people in our college are motivated about Linux and open-source. It will be great if some of the experienced developers and contributors could come and share their experiences with working in open-source with my fellow students. I had a wonderful experience talking to Dr. Gora, Atul Chitnis, Kishore Bhargava, Mrs.Valsa Williams from Intel, Advocate who has been in open-source years before I was even born, Ajay, Kapil and Niyam Bhushan who motivated us all regarding freed. I would like ILUG members to come and share their thoughts and experiences with the whole of NSIT as they did with me at the August meet of ILUGD. Looking forward to meeting you again at NSIT campus in Dwarka.

Re: [ilugd] Invitation for a talk at NSIT
Hi Kamal, It is really great that you have offered to volunteer for a talk at NSIT. You can really help us decide which licenses to choose while starting up our own software projects. Often, many new startups face problems related to licenses, and who would be more qualified than you to give advise to startups in legal matters. But I do not think that it will be a right idea to get students into legal details of open-source as although it makes up a great topic to hear to for a 3rd or a 4th year student, a 1st year may feel lost in the talk. Moreover, it would be unfair to squeeze in 4 talks in a span of 2 hours. If you will be willing, we will schedule a talk solely on legal issues relating to open-source later in this semester. @Linuxlingam : Have I made a mistake in addressing Gora Mohanty as a doctor. I would like to apologise for the misunderstanding. Thanks to all for the wonderful response from the ILUG community. Regards Deepank.

But, it should be addressed in a way that is applicable to students. 1. They need to understand what licenses and copyright are. Why it is copyright infringement if they copy their senior's final year thesis or copy text from books without quoting any references, and submit it as their final year project thesis. Also, the relevance to software licenses, and use of GPL, and documentation licenses like FDL, CC etc. in FOSS projects. 2. But, it should be made as a brief talk, just emphasizing what they should know, so they understand the importance of it and its implications.
