Greetings!
The photos taken during the "Introduction to FLOSS"
workshop held today, Saturday, July 22, 2006 at Jaya
Engineering College, Thiruninravur, Tamil Nadu, India
can be viewed here:

It was an introductory session with talks on career
opportunities with FLOSS, free/libre open source
software, and the GNU/Linux desktop.
I would like to thank Prof. Kumaran, HOD, CSD for
taking the initiative and following it up. Thanks also
to Harish for his correspondence and help.
There were about 200 students during the workshop, and
they are very eager to *learn* using FLOSS. They
already have a FLOSS lab setup. This mailing list has
been provided to them for technical support.
They are planning for an LDD for August 18, 19, 2006
(Friday, Saturday) - will be confirmed by them. It
will be open to the public and will be primarily
useful to the schools, colleges in and around
Thiruninravur, and Chennai.
To those new colleges/schools who haven't had a taste
of FLOSS, I shall provide them with the contact of
NRC-FOSS (Kenneth Gonsalves, Shrinivasan, Hariram
Aatreya and others), so they can take it further -
with support from ILUGC too.
Next, MNM Jain Engineering College, Thorapakkam.
SK
