Hey All,
GREETINGS OF THE DAY!
Well, here is a little news, that is bright for us, a few Engg. Colleges in Mumbai, are keenly interested in going ahead, and having at least 1 Full Fledged Open Source Lab. ;)
And through my contacts, i went ahead and pushed Fedora for the setup, currently the pipeline is at the "talks level", but is very optimistic.
We can look at a time frame of say the mid of may for the ball to be rolling or even before that.
We will need the following during the setup phase:-
1. Complete setup guides, for novice users, which can be given to the lab incharges, along with network install guides and setup disks / Images.
2. A technical support hand a place where they can post their queries and interact.
3. And (only if required) someone who can actually go to these colleges and help during the setup.
Post the setup of the labs, i expect there to be a requirement of say a training programme for students, in these colleges, or maybe (please pardon my ignorance) something like a fedora camp, or say a fedora centre for Open Minds, etc. Be setup in these colleges... i'm not aware of such programs and would request information from the mentors, on how to go about such a scenario.
Hope fully this development will bring us closer to our common goal J.

Hi Ankit,
First I would request you to join fedora-india mailing list. www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-india.
Well, here is a little news, that is bright for us, a few Engg. Colleges in Mumbai, are keenly interested in going ahead, and having at least 1 Full Fledged Open Source Lab. ;) And through my contacts, i went ahead and pushed Fedora for the setup, currently the pipeline is at the “talks level”, but is very optimistic.
That's a good news. And if successfully done, will be a wonderful work. Thanks for taking the initiative.
We will need the following during the setup phase:- 1. Complete setup guides, for novice users, which can be given to the lab incharges, along with network install guides and setup disks / Images.
Please have a look here http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ The setup/installation guide is there.
However, the user guide isn't there for F10. I shall take it up with doc team, if there is any plan for a user guide for F11.
Setup disks/Images will not be a problem.
2. A technical support hand a place where they can post their queries and interact.
They can ask any and all of their queries on fedora-india mailing list or #fedora-india. I can assure you, they will get all their answers. :)
3. And (only if required) someone who can actually go to these colleges and help during the setup.
I think Debjit has already expressed his availability. I am cc'ing fedora-india (sorry for x-post) for a few more people to help you out with this.
Post the setup of the labs, i expect there to be a requirement of say a training programme for students, in these colleges, or maybe (please pardon my ignorance) something like a fedora camp, or say a fedora centre for Open Minds, etc. Be setup in these colleges... i’m not aware of such programs and would request information from the mentors, on how to go about such a scenario.
You can organise a Fedora Activity Day, more on this can be found out https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_organize_a_FAD
As for fedora center, there is nothing such, but you can push for a lug there and we will support it. (support may not in terms of money.)
Hope fully this development will bring us closer to our common goal J.
Sure. And one request, please don't send html mail to lists, change your mail editor preference to plain-text while sending to the list.
Again, thanks for the good initiative. I can assure you support from Fedora's part. If you have any question, please ask.
Hiya Ankit,
Nice to see such an initiative being taken here in mumbai even. I'd like to volunteer my services and the services of my staff to assist in this venture. We should be able to make something pretty exciting happen. Do contact me off-list, and we can work out the logistics and availability issues.

Hello, in the college that I study, they want change the current system operatinal to Linux. And I suggested Fedora Core Linux. I need help because it is being so hard to get they agree to change to linux, and now, they don't know what OS use. Do we have some material about fedora? I really want send something to them!
Best regards and, sorry by my bad english!
