[fedora-india] [Event Report] Introduction to Fedora, Tech Shiksha Institute, 5 May 2013

[Navneet Singh]

Hi,

An event named "Geek" was organized by "Tech Shiksha Institute" on
Sunday,
5 May 2013, in Seminar Hall of Hotel Chandra Inn, Jodhpur, Rajashtan.

Mr. Aaditya Maheshwari [1], was the chief guest of the day. The day started
with "Introduction to F/OSS" by Mr. Aaditya Maheshwari in which more light
was thrown on the difference between Free Software and Open Source
Software. He also told the audience about FSF Foundation [2] and GNU/Linux
[3], which was followed by "Why Open Source is necessary ? " for
development.

After a short break, I started with "Introduction to Fedora" in which I
told them about the Fedora OS and Fedora Project. Then, I told the audience
about the communication guidelines which is required in "Free Software
Communication" with the help of
"i-want-2-do-project-tell-me-what-2-do-fedora" [4]. I also told them about
the different "Fedora Sub-Projects" [5] in which they can contribute. We
had a Q/A session in the end where various queries of the the attendees
were answered. The photos taken during the event are available on my blog
[6].

Thanks,
Navneet Singh
