FOSS-EDU-IN BoF on Saturday 3 pm at PESIT Tea House

[प्रवीण् ए (Praveen A)]

Hi,
   Tomo 3.00pm is the FOSS-EDU meet at (PESIT) Tea House. Its near
DevegowdaPetrol Bunk a few meters from Sagar Apollo Clinic. There is a
Planet Bajaj
Showroom too.

Tea House is some 2-3kms from Banashankari Bus Terminal. Its a straight
drive from Banashankari Bus Terminal on Ring Road ( 100 ft). Landmark is
DEVEGOWDA PETROL BUNK where tea house is located. This petrol bunk is a very
popular landmark. It will take some 20 mins from Jaynagar to reach there. If
u are coming from MG Road area, take the Mysore Road FlyOver so that you
dont get confused. Come straight on Mysore Road and then take a left to Ring
Road.

  The focus is how to involve students in the FOSS process.
 Updated list of topics

     * Create apt/yum/portage repos for currently available education tools
     * Help students to select foss projects as part of academic
requirement.
     * Workout a schedule to conduct workshops and learn foss education
tools
