Dear Penquins!
Its a vital decision to conduct a workshop in GNU/Linux (Ofcourse, there are
lot of contro-s in the name itself. So I have written it fully!). I need
some clarifications regarding this. will you be able to find time to reply
me?

1. Is it only for the students of RECT?
2. If not, what about the target audience?
3. Since most of our youths are addicted towards the graphics of WindowsXP,
will the workshop make them to think about the power of Linux GUI?
4. Do you have any session on Localisation?
5. Is it possible to ask our friends to try, atleast once,
Openoffice/Koffice instead of MS-Office for their presentations and project
report typing?

If this workshop is not only for RECTians, I will try to attend and feel the
aroma of Penquins!

Anbudan,
Pandian,
Pudukkottai.

Thats great. 

A small introduction to the others, some of group members have decided to
conduct a GNU/Linux workshop at RECT. Aashish sent me the following course
content. I guess they can add a little more.

Asish, you can add more to the help section - HOWTOs, Guides, Linux Gazette,
participating in mailing lists, usenet...

Put Gimp, and Dia together. Dia is an excellent vector drawing tool.

You could add more to the engineering tools section. 
Circuit Simulation - Oregano, gnucap, spice <- installed on silver
VHDL compiler - alliance <- installed on silver. Check out
/usr/local/alliance
Octave - matlab replacement, but will people use it?

You could maintain a master document of the course content and keep
upgrading it
as people give more suggestions.

By the way send a mail to glug_t@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subscribe as subject to
subscribe to the mailing list.
