Hi,<br>
<br>
I had organized a Fedora and OpenStack [1] workshop at P.E.S. College<br>
of Engineering [2], Nagsen Vana, Aurangabad, Maharashtra on Saturday,<br>
March 2, 2013.<br>
<br>
After a formal inauguration at 1000 IST, I introduced the students to<br>
communication guidelines, mailing list etiquette, and project<br>
guidelines using the "i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do"<br>
presentation [3]. The different Fedora sub-projects [4] to which they<br>
can contribute to were mentioned. I showed the various free/open<br>
source software tools available for them to learn and use. The career<br>
options with free/open source software were also discussed. I had<br>
asked them to write down any questions they had on the forenoon<br>
session, so I could answer them in the afternoon session. Few of their<br>
questions:<br>
<br>
* If I do a project in Java, what are my career options?<br>
* What is the difference between open source and Microsoft?<br>
* Is Linux popular only because of security, or are there other reasons too?<br>
* I am interested in mainframes. How should I learn?<br>
* I am interested in a career in animation. What free/open source<br>
software can I use?<br>
* What are the steps to become a good software engineer?<br>
* Can I patent a software product?<br>
<br>
Post-lunch, I answered their queries in the Q&A session, to the best<br>
of my knowledge. I also gave them an introduction on copyright,<br>
trademark and patents, and mentioned that IANAL [5]. I then introduced<br>
them to the architecture of OpenStack, explaining the individual<br>
components, and their functionality. The OpenStack Lab Guide [6] was<br>
provided to them to setup their own OpenStack cloud. Some of them had<br>
brought their laptops to try it hands-on. I demonstrated the Horizon<br>
web interface after starting the required services.<br>
<br>
All their computer labs have been migrated to Fedora 17. Thanks to<br>
Prof. Nitin Ujgare for working with me in organizing this workshop,<br>
and for maintaining the Fedora labs at the Institute. Aurangabad is<br>
around 230 km from Pune, and takes around 4 1/2 hours by road. There<br>
are frequent bus services between Pune and Aurangabad. You can book<br>
bus tickets at Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC)<br>
[7] web site. There are a number of historic places to visit in and<br>
around Aurangabad. Few photos taken during the trip are available in<br>
my /gallery [8].<br>

Regards,<br>
