My thoughts are
1) One expert speaker presenting a talk.
At the time of every month ILUGC meeting, We have to decide some new topic
that should create interest among the people (it may be new technology,tool
what ever in FOSS). Based on the topic we have to call expert people to
give talk. The thing is we have to decide the topic in different
areas(System Administration,Networking,Security,Linux Programming,Embedded
Linux,Scripting Languages etc...).
2) One beginner talk.
3) One OSS project/product demo
4) Lightning talk(s).
5) Job opportunity discussions( probably this at gurunath).
The remaining will be open to all.
6) . We have to send the topic at least one week before. If possible we need
to come up a way to announce the presentation topics and details to
surrounding colleges, university (may be schools) to all departments.
Putting more effort on academic(faculty,student,researcher etc...) people
will give more result.
7). We need to find out an innovative way that has to force more (those)
people to attend the presentation.
8). We have to create an innovative learning modules for new comers.
Innovative learning modules means it has to teach open source philosophy,
create passion and enthusiasm among the new comers and it should make Linux
as more comfortable platform for them compared to M$dog . Once we started
creating passion and enthusiasm among new comers they will create some more
enthusiast. This may give some more result for us.
From my experience I had realised below core issue :
But generally what is happening is most of the activities,talks and
presentation bases on LAMP. Very less people from LAMP back ground are
using Linux when they goes industry, the rest of the people are choosing
WAMP as platform. Those WAMP people never make any contribute for us or
FOSS. That is why I am saying that we need find out a way to create passion
and enthusiasm among the new people.
putting more effort on other areas like System
Administration,Networking,Security,Linux Programming,Embedded Linux etc...
will give more power for us.
Thanks & Rg
