Final Details for Kalyani Govt. Engineering Collg. Install Fest and FAD

[Rangeen Basu]

   This is regarding the install fest and FAD at KGEC. The organizers have
arranged everything that we wanted. They have changed the venue to their LAB
where we will get
2 MBps internet connectivity. They have also managed to get funds in just 2
days and are arranging for food packets for everybody including the
participants. There is no participation fee for the event. Participation
well over 100 is expected. The FAD starts at 11:00 a.m and continues till
the evening with a break in between. The agenda is upon us to decide.

   Its an install fest cum FAD. So will definitely need all the help we can
get to man the booth in the morning and help out in the workshops as well.
Bring whatever slides you can. Will decide what exactly to do. The agenda I
was thinking is

 1> Introduction to Linux and Fedora (Arindam's slides)
 2> Installation(using DVD) and configuration( probably using a local
mirror)
 3> Talk on Myths about Linux busted with Fedora (Subodip's slideshow)
 4> A demo and workshop on the various softwares and utilities.
 5> Talk on how to contribute to FOSS and how to join Fedora ( Possibly
using Satya's slides)

   The speakers are yet to be decided. All I know is that Debayan,
Ratnadeep, Kishan Goyal and me along with Indranil da are attending the
event. Don't know about Dipanjan or Sarbartha. hey haven't confirmed yet. I
want Indranil da to say something. Will talk to him tomorrow. Suggest
anything, any change or any addition, you want. Remember, the agenda for the
event isn't final yet. Anyone who wants to speak on anything else please let
me know. I will be needing 100 DVDs. Anyone who has it please supply.

DVDs as well. Please reply ASAP.

I guess I promised you the DVDs.
I understand your excitement, but it is better to keep your cool. :)
Once you have been promised some resources, it is inappropriate to
send another call for help on the same thing.

Anyway, can I have your mobile number offlist?
Can you pick the DVDs today evening or tomorrow morning from Jadavpur?
I have my mobile no on my page.
Thanks.

Hello there,

India has shown a lot of interests on FEL this year. I should spend
some time preparing some
- slides/pdf
- documentation
so that ambassadors can easily spread the word.

FYI:
A gentoo developer has seen its users switching to Fedora to design hardware:

There were a number of fedora people there and
we are still awaiting the report of this.
Hope that will arrive soon.
Thanks.

If the FEL article does get published in March09 (I am yet to chase
Aanjhan for details on that), I'd expect much more interest along the
following lines:

- how to use it as a development platform
- how to put requests for enhancements
- how to 'market' it to more institutions

The beauty of FEL is that it fits right into the curriculum without
requiring a modification in the curriculum contents. That plug-n-play
part is going to be of immense help when augmented with slides/pdf or,
even a small recording talking about FEL, its genesis and its roadmap.
