[fedora-india] Fedora community/meetup in Kerala

[Sinny Kumari]

In addition to what Dominic said -

I also attended conf.kde.in and it was very good to see lot of FOSS
enthusiasm among Amrita college students and teachers. I haven't seen any
college so far where teachers shows so much interest in FOSS activities. I
too got a chance to talk to few teachers and they said around 10 students
have already registered for attending FudCon. I talked personally to few
students to attend FudCon so that they can explore more opportunity in
FOSS. Few students also asked what Fedora is and what it does, it was great
to tell them about Fedora. I had loads of Fedora stickers which I got from
Red Hat, Pune Fedora folks, distributed them among attendees. We also
shared few printed FudCon 2015 posters to Amrita college teacher, having it
displayed in college will help in reaching FudCon news to more students.

I have written a personal blog post on my experience with conf.kde.in 2015
