EventReport : FOSS Seminar at Mukah Polytechnic, Sarawak, Malaysia

[Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail]

I was at Mukah, Sarawak on the last 22nd and 23rd June 2009 for a FOSS
Seminar organized by a Polytechnic college there. The polytechnic
invited speakers from OSCC-MAMPU and Eric (an OSCC-MAMPU staff, an
OpenSuSE Ambassador, and also a contributor in Fedora Malaysia
activities) invited me to tag along with him as a speaker. The event
attendees were primarily lecturers and staff from Mukah Polytechnic
itself, Kuching Polytechnic, and several nearby colleges.

It was a 2 days event where the first day was mainly filled with talks
related several FOSS topics: "What is FOSS", "Trends in FOSS world",
"GNU/Linux", "Security in FOSS", "Interoperability – Making FOSS and
Windows play nice", and "FOSS development tools". The second day was
an install workshop of Fedora and OpenSuSE and introduction of several
GNOME features to the attendees. Me and Eric take turns on the talks
and workshop.
