Hello and hi,
I did a 6 day workshop on the topic "web programming with
foss tools" at
IIIT -Gothapatna - Bhubaneswar - Odissa - India between 30th
of March 2012
and 4th of April 2012.
There were? 70 participants actively participated in
this exercise. Out of
the 6 days, 2 days the classes were conducted till 12 am(yes
12 am i mean
the mid night)The event was a grand success.
Prior to the start of this workshop ,I requested the event
organiser
Mr.Bishnu patra to see that Ubuntu is kept ready on all the
students
machine,which he did.
There were bandwidth issues when 70 students accessing
internet through
wifi router (a kind of bsnl router we have it in our home),
even sudo
apt-get update took so much of? time,
so asked the last row people to come forward near the router
to have better
access and get the installation done faster.
We worked with ubuntu -10.04/11.04 versions in all the
terminal and xampp
for lamp stack support.
I taught the students how to install ruby on rails through
rvm and through
a conventional style of apt-get install ruby-full.
This installation process for around 50 machines for all the
70
participants seems to a kind of problem because of the
bandwidth.
you can see that wifi bandwidth struggle here in this photo
