Subject: [FSUG-Bangalore] CMRIT is moving to GNU-Linux


Hi,
 
Today Karthik, Ravishankar and I met Prabhod, a faculty at CMRIT,
Bangalore. We were very happy to learn that the computer science dept.
in the Institution has moved to GNU-linux platform and also the
management has instructed all of its students ( which includes all the
streams) to use only GNU-linux on their laptops. Infact, all other
departments also have been convinced and are moving to GNU-linux.
Prabhod said the management would be very happy from this development as
it would save lot of money on licensing. 
 
Earlier, about 3 months back, Suresh kodoor and Rakesh had visited CMRIT
and taken sessions on free software philosophy and installation session.

 
Prabhod and his HOD informed that installation session of GNU-linux
could be held for about 250 students on their laptops during the
technical fest. Hence, one day session covering free software
philosophy, installation, alternatives available for different streams
has been planned on 21.03.2009 at CMRIT. This is for about 250 students
of II semester of all the students. 
Other college students may also join for the same. 
 
The HOD has invited us to take one day workshop for their faculty as
well for which planning is being done.
