by A. Mani 07 May '13

07 May '13

The Indian team for cultural freedom day is planning an online event on 20th May. Primarily it includes Women in Free s/w and Culture (wfs-india.dreamwidth.org) Kolkata GLUG, Mozilla, Gnome and I want to include Fedora as well. So far we 3 free s/w related event proposals and 1 culture-free s/w related proposal. More of the latter type will be able to help us extend the free s/w network instead of strengthening existing ones. We want 1. more event proposals 2. Fedora T-shirts etc to be given as prizes for certain events. Who can supply these? 3. I am not sure about what Mozilla can offer (I know since we have little time what else can be done ... esp about funds ) Essential points of the irc meeting will be out soon. Please reply soon.

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.
