Dear friends,
My thoughts below:
First of all congratulations to the volunteers at
Madurai GLUG for taking the initiative in setting up
FLOSS labs, and helping the folks at SIT.
There are very few people, I have seen in India, who
take initiatives, who motivate others to learn, and
help them even when it is way out of their reach. You
are one among them. I salute you.

The first time
itself., they made the
volunteers run around a bit. They ask them to come
over a couple of
times., and then send them back with some excuse.
Their attitude towards
the volunteers was very bad., and showed no
gratitude.
If I were in Madurai ...
1. I wouldn't waste time helping them again.
2. If asked for help, I would provide them contact of
FLOSS consultants for setting up/maintenance of labs.
3. Feel sympathetic, empathetic, and sorry for their
ignorance and move on.
