request for speaker for our FOSS festival Mukti 2010
by Roshan Singh
Hi all,
I am a student from National Institute of Technology, Durgapur. We organise
a FOSS festival, Mukti(http://mkti.in) every year. Last year we had some
Fedora contributors here during our fest. In continuation with that we are
hopeful to get some more speakers from Fedora.
1. I would like to know if we can get to some speaker to show their projects
like a small hack session with the hope that we may get some contributors to
the project. We will provide the necessary requirement for conducting the
session
2. There is a panel discussion around the topic "Free software. Why is it
important for students like us to contribute to them. Software Patents.".
The number of speakers participating in this event will be 3-4.
Date: 5-7 Feb 2010.
Timings of all the events are yet to be decided.
We are open to suggestions.

[Event Report] Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India
by Shakthi Kannan
Hi,
I had conducted a one-day Fedora, Free Software workshop at the
Bachelor of Computer Applications department, Maharaja Sayajirao
University of Baroda (Vadodara), Gujarat, India on Saturday, December
26, 2009.
Thanks to VGLUG [1] for coordinating with me for the past few months
in organizing this event. I would like to thank the Fedora project for
sponsoring the travel.
* The BCA department lab systems were equipped to run on Fedora 12,
and we used it for couple of the hands-on sessions:
- Use of git: di-git-ally managing love letters [2]
- Packaging Fedora RPM [3]
* I had also addressed the following topics:
- i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora [4]
- Badam Halwa of Embedded Systems [5]
* Participants were from the BCA department, and had also come from
Ahmedabad [6]. Vadodara (Baroda) connects to Ahmedabad via a 95km
expressway [7].
* Free/Open Source Software is officially included in the Gujarat
state school syllabus for higher secondary (XI and XII). In the coming
years it is expected to be even introduced from standard VIII.
* The Department coordinator and Professor V A Kalamkar is happy to
facilitate work between VGLUG, and the students for Free/Open Source
Software projects. We hope to have more interaction with them in the
future.
* VGLUG members are also keen on participating in the Fedora project
at various sub-projects of their interests.
* Due to the political crisis [8] in Hyderabad, I was uncertain about
reaching the Hyderabad airport, and thus making it to the workshop.
The bandh was withdrawn for December 25th, and when I made it the
airport on the 25th, the scheduled flight was cancelled. So, I had to
re-schedule a different flight, but, the airline officials said they
couldn't guarantee if I will make it to my connecting flight in
Mumbai. This re-scheduled flight got delayed even further. Luckily, my
connecting flight also got delayed, and I finally managed to make it
to Vadodara.
* As customary, here are some photos taken during the trip:

A brief info about myself.
by DHAWAL GUDA
Hello Friends,
This is Dhawal from Hyderabad and have recently applied for fedora
ambassador community.I am 24years old and am working as a network engineer

have encouraged them to use Linux on their home systems. I frequently take
classes at home on the basics of Computer to school students who can't
afford to buy a computer.
