I am embarrass writing this post after so long time but due to some hectic schedules I didn't get time to share my feelings with you.
But now as I got some time I am here to share something nice with you. :)
This is something about what I love a lot. This is about a time period that thought me a lot of things. I am talking about our college Linux Users Group "LUGB". A group with which I am working since December 2009. Recently LUGB organised a complete week for spreading FOSS culture and to aware people what actually FOSS is.
That was really as awesome experience for me. Working with FOSS and making students aware what they actually losing without it. LUGB is at present an active community for everybody who loves FOSS and who wants to learn about FOSS.
Recently LUGB is working to get people familiar with FOSS side by side spreading it to every corner of our region.
So we called the week as LUGB Week. The week started on last monday and we started from our college Engineering College Bikaner where fortunately FOSS culture flourishing faster than any other place.So we aimed the week to get our juniors aware about FOSS who thinks Computer == Windows. So primarily we maintain a team who is eligible to bust all these sorts of myths they had in their mind. So enough reason why we named our first talk as "Myth Buster".
That was fully interaction based talk where our team members busted all the myths they had about FOSS and Linux.A nice strength of students gathered for the talk and as I said It's the place where FOSS culture is flourishing faster than any other place, proved us. Feedback by students were awesome and many of them were die heart impressed by FOSS. But as we have planned for a week we had 5 more days to go.
So the next day it was the day called "Drupaldum". We simply want to make our talks interesting so we choose the topics which a normal student might be interested in. And here comes an idea about web designings and Drupal seemed to be a best example how we can work collaboratively. A complete talk about Drupal installation and workings was given and made students familiar about the web.
This was about two days working of the group. Different people from group arranged very nice and interactive talks under LUGB. The week covered each and every aspect about FOSS from software development to Hardware interfacing. Into Hardware section my colleagues make student aware about arduino , beaglebot etc.
So thus complete week was full of fun and freedom. Lugb is recently working with Mr. Shyam Sunder Jiyani the man who claimed his name twice into Limca Book of world Records for planting more then 2 lakh plants in a sort interval of time.
At last , It was a nice week for me to work for LUGB as well as FOSS. Me myself completely in love with FOSS and working with Drupal from last eight months.
So that was all about my last week which I called A week under free flamboyancy.
:)
cheers !!
