[fedora-india] Event Report, Introduction to FOSS and Fedora

[Navneet Singh]

Hi,

An event was held at Kendre Vidyalaya No. 1 AFS[1], Jodhpur, Rajasthan,
India on Thursday, April 25, 2013.

The day started with the talks regarding the problem faced by students and
faculties while using their computers specifically about software and
operating system which was followed by "Introduction to Open Source". I
told the students about the available "Free Software" and "Why to use them
?", under which I basically focused at introduction those software which
are mostly used by the students. This was followed by the "Introduction to
Fedora." I gave them a demo of Fedora 17 Operating System through Live CD
and showed them how to use it.

After a short break, a hand-on session of how to install Fedora 17 and use
it was carried out followed by Q/A session in which difference between
Linux and Windows, and various others common queries of students were
answered. I also distributed Fedora 17 iso images to the students and
faculties.

I sincerely thank Prof. Usha Tholiya[1] and Prof. Gautam Chand[2] for
helping me out through out session and preparing Labs.

The photos taken during the event are available on my blog[4].

Regards,
Navneet Singh
