Fedora at free software workshop at KLN Madurai
Arun Sag conducted one day Free software workshop on 29th August, at KLN Madurai for the pre-final year CSE and IT students. The session started with an introduction to free software and philosophy. Fedora 11 was installed in 30+ Lab machines for hands on. The response from the students was excellent. Hospitality was good.
Fedora 11 DVDs were distributed to all the participants.
Arun would like to thank HOD of CSE department, KLN and final year student Dhivakaran for organizing this event successfully.
