Hi,
I want you to join the summer training and learn about FOSS. This
training helped me a lot, i suggest anyone interested in FOSS from
college join and learn. Basically you have to sign up for the mailing
list and attend IRC sessions and do "home work". You will learn a lot
and be a better engineer. I want bunch of volunteers from Mepco to
join this summer training, all training happens online via IRC/mailing
list. Please see the forwarded email for more information. Can you
send me who all will be joining this summer training? Name/Email
address?

To: <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Summer Training 2019. The training sessions will start from
16th
of June. But, before it starts, there are few more steps to make sure that
we
all are ready. Please go through the following steps and make sure you are
ready for the first session.
# Step 1: Get a latest Linux system
It can be your primary system (laptop or desktop). If you are totally new
to
Linux, then try to install it on Virtualbox in your regular Windows as a
virtual machine. Tip: if you don't know how to do that, search on Internet,
there are many tutorials which will guide you.
# Step 2: Read about emails and how to reply to a mailing list
[0] contains a few basic rules, we will learn more during the sessions.
# Step 3: Connect to IRC
This is a very important point, Please go through [1] document and
register a
nickname. You will need a registered nickname and also have to identify
yourself to the server to attend the sessions. If you need help, write
back to
this thread (as an inline reply). Make sure that you can join the #dgplug
channel on the freenode server.
# Step 4: Read the FAQ once more
FAQ: [2]
# Step 5: Answer the following 3 questions as inline reply
1. What is your expectation from the training?
2. What do you want to achieve at the end of the training?
3. Do you have any prior FOSS experience?
4. [OPTIONAL] Your location
