Last year 18 Sept, LUG Indore, celebrated SFD’06 at DAVV, auditorium, Indore. It was well attended by over 1000+ participants from more than 25 colleges of Indore.
Event started by a presentation on Linux and FOSS by Prabhat, Moderator, LUG-Indore. It was well received by audience. It lasted about 2 and half hour. Some cool features of Linux and explained the philosophy behind Linux and OSS demonstrated. Some points about hacker culture discussed. Live Hindi Linux distribution, “Rangoli” by IndLinux group was demonstrated after that. Audience was thrilled to see it. At the end of seminar, installation of Mepis Live CD was demonstrated.
After it world’s first Open source animation movie, “Elephants Dream” was screened, to showcase the animation capabilities of open source 3D animation software Blander3D. It was amazing experience for audience. After that a short break for lunch was taken.
Next session started about 3:15 and “Revolution OS” was screened. It was also well received by the audience. After this some development tools like Anjuta, Eclipse, Qt designer etc were discussed. That was very informative session and most of the audience was convinced to work on Linux to complete their day to day programming assignments.
Next was the most interesting and most interactive session, ” Quiz Time “. Many questions based on Linux and OSS were asked form audience and distributed prizes to the winners. It was really nice to see the enthusiasm of the audience.
Event was concluded by a vote of thanks by LUG-Moderator. All the volunteers were called upon the stage and were introduced to the audience. Some more guys also joined the LUG Core team at this moment from the audience.
