[glug-t] Re: Meet Linux!

Good work guys. Just make sure that the topics that you have are not too high 
funda (python??). From experience we've known:
1.         that we always exceed time limits no matter how simple the topic or 
how much time is assigned. Take that into account when conducting the course 
and setting the topics for the day.
2.         People take a LOT of time to understand things, so dont cramp up too 
many things on one day. They will probably forget what they learnt in the first 
half of the session if there are too many things to remember. 
3.         Not everyone is a programmer. Though this course might introduce 
them to it, they'll take a lot of time to grasp the basics itself (think of all 
those who have minimal C knowledge - very tough to talk Linux or anything else 
to them).
4.         Gdb without GCC??? 
5.         Make your tutorials as simple as possible, with very very detailed 
steps. On the lines of the Dummies series if you can.
6.         Practice it before you go in. You'll find out if you're going to 
exceed the time limit before you actually do (kudos to BVK for that when we 
conducted it the first time).
 
Do a good job.
