[Ambassadors] [Event Report] Fedora seminar, August 08, 2012 at Jaipur National university, Jaipur

[David Ramsey]

Hello Everyone,



Greetings. :)


Akshay vyas, good report!  :)

One of the best reports that I have read in a long time!  :)
> === Report ===> 
> I had organized a Fedora/Linux seminar at Jaipur National University
> (Main campus), Jaipur, Rajasthan, India on Wednesday, August 08,2012.
> 
> All attendees were graduate students in computer science. They were
> all familiar with some basic programming languages, and operating
> systems, but most of them were new to Linux.
> 
> The whole two hour session was lecture based with some tutorials. In
> the first half, I started with 26 reasons why we should use Linux and
> open source software, and how it is a superior choice for academics.
> 
> I then demonstrated the installation of Fedora 17, and told them more
> about RPM, and how to use yum and RPM to install packages on Fedora,
> and introduced them to the different desktop environments.
> 
> In the second half, I showed them how to easily install a file sharing
> server for home and named it as "Install file sharing server in 5 mins
> with Fedora". I also provided them with Fedora 17 dvd iso for i686 and
> x86_64. Some robotics students asked for Fedora 17 robotics spin. I
> told them that I would try to provide the robotics spin as soon as
> possible.
> 
> Finally the whole two hour session ended up with some questions from
> attendees who faced some problems while using Fedora.

Keep up the great work!  :)

Sending positive Fedora 16 and Fedora 17 energy to your computers now.  :v)
Please have a Great Fedora day and/or evening! :~)

Thank You
Sincerely
