Which Internet connection do you use and from where?
If the podcasts were in indian english, or tamil
it will reach more and more rural students.
Do you know what download speeds the students or
people in rural places get?
Next time you visit a rural village in India, try
opening up any .html webpage on a dial-up connection
(say BSNL). It will be *pathetically* slow (in the
order of minutes). I have seen this in the outskirts
of Tiruchirapalli, Karaikudi, and Erode. So, you can
imagine how much time it will take for any CMS to
load.
Why rural village, go to any town and use the Internet
connection and see it to believe it.
Your idea of having speeches recorded is good. But,
the methodology to spread it would be to burn it in
CDs, and courier it to towns/rural villages.
Professional courier is very much affordable and it
reaches remote places in few days time. Cds4grabs
(temporarily down in chennailug wiki) is a good
example.

Hi .
Which Internet connection do you use and from where?
i use bsnl broadband in chennai.
Yes. i know the speeds of net at rural places
as i came fro kanchipuram.
The dialup kills there.
But, if we start podcasting in tamil or easy english,
we can get them in CDs as u told.
Or even we can have videos, talks, interviews with
senior ilugc members.
we have enough knowledged people.
If the talks we give to colleges and public are recorded,
we can give those CDs to rural people.
They can also get in touch with linux.
dear,
T.Shrinivasan.

Hi,
Do you know what download speeds the students orPathetic, agreed. The same might be of their exposure to "podcasts".
people in rural places get?
So, the target audience cannot yet be internet-dependant ppl in
rural/township areas.
On the other hand ,most of the colleges have decent internet
connections(i believe). So, any introduction at college meets can push
the word through and without too many internet woes.
Your idea of having speeches recorded is good. But,If you have to particularly target the not-so-connected sector, yes.
the methodology to spread it would be to burn it in
CDs, and courier it to towns/rural villages.
On the other hand there are so many ppl in the cities, maybe
subscribers of tech podcasts and maybe without too much exposure to
linux. (I know quite a bunch like that!). The idea can atleast impress
upon them, can't it?
