However if this pilot course is successful which we believe will be, then we are planning to host such courses in other colleges and also open it for general public whoever is interested. Also we will be glad to accommodate any particular session which we have missed out in syllabus and someone in this community wants to take it up to students. -- Regards, Vignesh B.

[ubuntu-in] Events planned to celebrate Software Freedom Day in Bangalore from 15th to 17th Sept
Hi friends, Software Freedom Law Centre, New Delhi(SFLC-ND) and Free Software Movement-Karnataka (FSMK) are celebrating Software Freedom Day, by organizing Talks and events by one of the mavericks of the Knowledge Freedom campaigns and an affiliate of SFLC-ND - Prof.Eben Moglen,Founder, Director-Counsel and Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center. In this visit to Bangalore, Prof.Eben Moglen will be participating in three separate events organized by FSMK. *1. Inaugural Lecture of Free Software certificate course at St.Joseph's College,Bangalore on the 15th September 4 p.m.* St.Joseph's College, Bangalore has incorporated 120 hours of free software sessions to be handled by FSMK and other like-minded Free Software Enthusiasts. The course syllabus will be put up on website of FSMK very soon. The idea is to to empower students to become productive self-supporting citizens of the free software community. Its an honour to have professor Eben deliver the first lecture of the course. *2. Prof.Eben at Ambedkar Community Computing Center (AC3) on the 16th September., evening* Before two years, RMS and Prof.Eben visited AC3 with only a few students who were being taught computers using Free Software. Today, these handful of young free software activists from the community are running three other Community Computing Centers completely on their own. Prof.Eben will visit AC3 for a community discussion, where the members of these centers will initiate a discussion on the activities so far, the ups and downs and the way forward. There will also be a small cultural event organized by AC3 students. *3. Interaction with Prof.Eben Moglen on the Freedom in the Cloud at Indian Institute of Science, on 17th September , 3p.m – 5 p.m, faculty hall IISc. * Speaker: Prof. Eben Moglen Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University Founder, Director-Counsel & Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center Time: Fri. Sep 17 2010 3pm-5pm Venue: Faculty Hall, IISc Title of Talk: "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing" Abstract: Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T, Bing. They'll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you can't wait to let them. They'll store your stuff, they'll organize your photos, they'll keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes into the "Cloud." How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting out again. This talk will discuss how much worse things have become since the pre-cloud era and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the era of Web 2.0. I cordially invite you all to come and celebrate software freedom day along with us during these events. -- Regards, Vignesh B.
