We need volunteers to lead the students team in
topics mentioned
below.
So far volunteers are
1.Shakthi - Not yet chosen topic
As always ... put me under Tech Support :)
I shall also hang around with the other stalls if
students need help.
My suggestions:
- It will take hardly 5 minutes to introduce the
following topics to MIT students if they haven't used
it yet
- For demo purposes we can download webpages and keep
them offline to be used during the demo
- students have 1 week to learn to use the relevant
topics mentioned below, also consulting with experts,
if need be. Honestly speaking, one can learn these in
few minutes. GNU/Linux is so much fun to learn :)
- It would be better for ilugc members to cater to 3-4
teams when students need help
