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