Hi Jawad,
Good initiative!. You have a well plan too. I have a suggestion, before the
event you guys could conduct a *My Computer My Linux* week. In that week
your college students can come to the organizers and get their laptop Linux
installed.
- Form a 10 member team who know to install Linux
- Get a beginner friendly Linux distro ( I suggest LinuxMint)
- You guys can either install Linux on their laptop or burn Live iso to
their USB stick/DVD
- You could also try to give free distro update to the existing users
who don't have good broad band connection at home
Once you've got a handful of linux powered machines, you guys will get
more active participation for you planned event. I tired this one at my
college and it was a big success. Good luck!
