Played around with gzip, gcc.
Wana meet the person who created these software gizmos?
This event is for you then. Vellore Institute of Technology is
organizing
a symposium on Free and Open Source software technologies titled
Swatantra(6th - 7th Feb, 05).
Founder of GNU and the man responsible for coining the term Free
Software,
Richard M Stallman will be there to deliver the keynote address of the
symposium and to answer all the questions that you have always wanted
to
ask about these amazingly simply yet inherently complex programs.
The event will also feature various competitions to kindle your nack
for
Linux tweaking and tuning such as:-
LINSTALL-- The Linux installation challenge.
Anaconda !! YaSt !! familiar with all these name? Have been installing
on
your system for a long time and you find it fun?? making the X server
run??
configuring the boot loader?? ..YES??..One event where apply all your
skills which you developed over the years by trying to install
GNU/Linux on
your system.
WEBMINISTER-- The Apache web server Challenge
Love Apache because of the customizability it offers while deploying
your
website? Love fiddling with httpd.conf and think you are best at it?
This
is one event to prove yourself! Come and demonstrate that your are the
best
at the best web server that there is and ever was.....
CORE WARS-- Challenge the memory
This event will feature an old game called core wars which involves
destroying your opponents programs by overwriting the memory in which
this
program is stored. It will kindle the nerves of memory geeks with
pointers
and direct memory references expertise being the norm.
Watch out for cool demonstrations on MONO, Linux Cluster, Linux from
scratch and much more....
Regards,
Anurag
