Event Report
by Navneet Singh 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hi, An event was organized at Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2 AFS[1], Jodhpur, Rajasthan on Tuesday, 30 April, 2013. The day started with the discussion about why software piracy is done specially of operating system, why we are unable to learn the software we use or modify it, which was followed by “Introduction to Open Source”. I discussed about advantages of open source and explained the concept of “Free Software” to them which was followed by “Why to use Free Software”. I told them about about various free software which can used in by them like Libre office, GIMP, gedit. I also discussed advantages of FOSS in a student's learning. After a few minutes break, I continued with “Introduction to Fedora” to them and advantages of Fedora was discussed with them. I introduced the audience with Fedora's website and also I gave demo of Fedora 17 and Fedora 18 to them. It was followed with a hand-on lab session which included “How to install Fedora” and then students were left to experience Fedora for few minutes. After that a Q/A session was there in which various queries of the students were answered. I also distributed Fedora 17 and Fedora 18 iso images. I would sincerely like to thank Mr. Rohit Gupta who helped me through out the session. The photos taken during the event are available on my blog[2].

Fedora Classroom
by Álvaro Castillo 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi buddies! A long time ago, I was thinking about doing some "Fedora classes" on my high school. So...today I was talking with Deputy Director of it. She is very nice, and very friendly. She name is Rosa Montesdeoca. I requested to him, to next year I can do Fedora classes for students from 12 to 16 ages. And she is agree. So, I will have to synthetise a lot of information with his help, take some ideas from other teachers to adapt to students with different ages, and insert some degrees for each courses. That's consist about show Fedora.... What's Fedora?, What's awesome community?, What's Linux and GNU?, What's Free Software?, What's DE's?, What's WM's?, What's Sugar, KDE, XFCE...? How to install programs easily?, How to do homeworks (LibreOffice, or Sugar environment for more babies)?... and so more. And I hope teaching these development areas that Fedora has got such as clustering, clouding, virtualization and more, can help to find a job in the future. The classes will be very summarized, and will be very adapted for each teenagers. That's also the opportunity to replace the blame .DOC/.DOCX format that are used by some teachers. Please, if you are teacher for high school, and you want share your point of view, ideas, suggestions and more. Please let me know. Cheers Fedora community! -- Álvaro Castillo Fedora Project, EMEA ambassador http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Netsys Linux user #547784
