The basic agenda of meetup was to give an introduction to Foss andLinux to newbies of SRMLUG .As it was our first talk session so we
decided to not make it are very geek and techie so , Srini and me
decided to keep it short n simple .Our main Agenda was :
1.Why Linux
2.Introduction to Open source world
3.How to get involved with the Linux community
4. Q&A
The session was pretty good to start with , but as we scheduled it
just after lunch so students were drowsy , we did a good job in
getting there attention , Srini started off with shooting questions
directly to students that what kind of softwares bought and for how
much ?(most answers were Antivirus :P ) .
And he kept rocking people with his impact full examples on Close
source VS Open source . We did a good job ,by creating a relaxing
environment (even though we noticed few poker faces #windows fan).
Gnu , Gpl , source forge , different lug,s , floss projects and lot
more students came to know about .And we finished off by inviting them
to this open world with no boundaries ,no GATES and WINDOWS :)
