Hello listmates,<br><div class="gmail_quote">I am Debayan Banerjee, a final year student of IT at National Institute of Technology, Durgapur. We are organising an "Annual National Level Technical Symposium on GNU/Linux and Free Software", Mukti09. The event shall take place over a period of 3 days starting on 6th February and ending on 8th Februray.<br>
As a build up to Mukti09, we have decided to conduct workshops on many fields of interest related to FOSS. As a group trying to spread FOSS awareness in the locality, it has been my personal experience that girls have a phobia towards working on Linux. It is also made worse by the fact that they do ot have access to proper hands-on help in their hostels. We would love to have one or two of your female members dispel that fear from their hearts here, and also educate boys and girls alike about a topic of your choice.<br>
As for dates, the entire month of January and February 1st week is available. Also Durgapur is near Kolkata, so we would like it if the visiting member were from in and around Kolkata, since we have limited travel sponsorship to give away. But that is not a binding constraint.<br>
Kindly respond with possible workshop/talk topics.<br><br>~Debayan<br><a href="http://debayan.wordpress.com" target="_blank">http://debayan.wordpress.com</a><br><font color="#888888">-- <br>BE INTELLIGENT, USE LINUX<br><a href="http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in" target="_blank">http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in</a><br>
