Hi All, The first two days of the workshop went smoothly with the great support from our staff members, Labeeba and Sangeetha. The workshop started at 12:45pm and the installation is over before 1:30pm. The students were asked to come after 4:30 to have an introduction to Synaptic Package Manager. Some of them (not all of them) came and they have learned to use Synaptic. After all we can see some enthusiasm in them to learn more. Two of them wanted to try it out in another machine. They are supposed to submit the report of the workshop next week. Please find the detailed schedule attached. Besides we can also plan to give the responsibility of maintaining systems in the lab to students. I think we have to make a plan for that. For instance if a system is crashed we can assign a student or group of students to repair it. This might fasten up their learning process. Please give your suggestions. As Raju Sir and Shyam suggested our next tasks for I and II semester students are 1. Seminar on one major application/theme of Free Software 2. Assigning simple projects Pease suggest your ideas, which can be given as topics for this Regards, Raghesh
