I am not a software - coder - person.
I am willing to help in any way - NO COMMERCIALS at all.
I am at chennai - loving to use UBUNTU - from 9.04 onwards - still using
10.04 (just because of Gnome 2.0)
you can use me in any way - for Linux Propagation, etc.
In the meanwhile - KV-IIT may want to have some courses - for 10 / 11 / 12
- basically either Python / Ruby or equivalent.
If any one is interested let us provide that too.
with warm regards

Dear all,
The Engineering colleges in Tamilnadu have started moving from
Proprietary operating system to GNU/Linux operating system.
We have setup Fedora-20 based Open source lab in more than 15+
engineering colleges after its final release on December 17, 2013.
The latest version of Fedora has attracted many of the colleges
towards GNU/Linux platform and most colleges have decided to migrate
atleast 50% of computers using Linux in all departments (one of the
engineering college located within Chennai city has already migrated
10% of computers completely to Fedora-20 and would switch another 40%
by the end of March ' 2014).
After interacting with several engineering college management
authorities, I found that, the colleges were no more interested in
paying for software license for proprietary software and therefore
decided to migrate to Linux platform and train all the faculty members
for using them.
Hence, based on the feedback and response we got from colleges, we
have decided to setup more than 100+ FOSS Labs on April 8th, 2014.
We are looking for volunteers support who can support this initiative.
Any monetary benefits we receive from colleges would be shared with
the volunteers.
I am ready to offer FREE training / resources for the volunteers who
wish to support this initiative.
Would like to hear your thoughts / ideas.
