Good idea. I guess that can happen after the talks and after sufficient
awareness has been created about OSS. If we motivate the students
themselves, they will conduct it during a techfest/technical symposium which
atleast a thousand other students will attend..... more sure-shot publicity
and awareness created that way.
For that matter, the talks can be given during techfests - the colleges will
be really happy they are having some quality lectures/hands-on, and good
number of participants is also ensured.
