Dreams
which is one of the most common thing in everyones life because we
always use to watch it at night . But having CONF@JMILUG in our
college e.g. Linux Conference parallel with CSIJMI Annual Fest
is as difficult as like watching dream in day time . Many peoples are
not in favor of this according to them " Who the hell is
interested in listening these talks" . lolz any way loyalty is
the best policy . Then i started in searching some sponsor and also
some speakers who can help us . Finally we got SPOKEN-TUTORIAL.ORG
with the reference of Atul Jha . But as we all know getting
sponsorship is not a Joke same happened here also . But thanks to Mr.
Kannan Sir, Head of SPOKEN TUTORIAL project who supported our event with
great joy and happiness. We also thankful to Linux For You who
supported us as media parter for this event.
What
we are planning : we will trying to target those audience who is not
aware of Linux and Open Source and this idea of attracting peoples
was appreciated by our team members and the fellow.
There
are lots of work still remaining booking tickets , Designing and
Printing of posters , calling all the speakers , Sending and
receiving of mail of confirmation by speakers , making schedule ,
etc. My god it was a hectic schedule but some how we managed. We
started with the parallel methods working simultaneously on the
deciding talks/session as well as the infrastructure part also and
soon released our tentative schdule of the event. A seperate website
released with the name of the conf.jmilug.org for
this event on which we started getting registrations also. As the
time was less and work too much but we finally completed all the
arrangements in time.
It
was the starting of Day-1 I started my day in my own car and gone
directly to pick-up speakers from the locations and dropped at
college. In college my other team members working with the
arrangements of rooms and power supply. We also had one stall by
Spoken-Tutoria in main lawn where people get to know about the
different projects on FOSS. On day-1 there was a small incident
happened which I must say an unfortunate one we having a good amout
of Fedora disks and Fedora badges. The scene happened was that
suddenly a big mob of students came over the table and just grabbed
and snathched all the disks from the table in whithin 5 minutes
everything chnaged. Now this was an unexpected behaviour by crowd
although those disks are just to distribute among studnets but not in
this way. Anyway from next we will take care of such things also.
Rest all gone well.
Talks
started with the talk of Atul Jha he shared his experiences in open
source field which was amazing and intractive session. Followed by
talk of Priya Kuber she is Head of Arduino program in India. She
delivered talk on “Women in technology” which was itself an
interesting topic. After that talk Prof. Arjun Ghosh shared the
experiences as a Linux User from non technical background. He is one
of a English Professor at IIT-Delhi, New Delhi. The last talk of day1
on Moodle CMS by Prof. Gaurav Prashar, Dean (IT) of Inmantec College,
Gaziabad. His command in Moodle is super cool. He funtionaly using
Moodle in his college as assignments and courses which is a great
initiative by Gaurav sir.
Then
after the ending of day-1 we left for enjoying the night life of
delhi with our speakers who were from outside Delhi. We enjoyed lunch
in Delhi's traditional way at the oldest place of delhi e.g. Gali
Paranthe Wali.
Now
starting with the day–2 like everywhere here also day was little
bit lazy as we were little bit tiered with the day one. But we
having very special talks on this day also which blown up power in me
and mobilized me to do double work. In comparision to day-1 we having
less crowd on day-2. Starting with the “How to contribute in FOSS”
by Satya Komaragiri. Followed by the talk of Arulalan's talk on
Python programming. Arulalan T. is one of the Project Associate at
IIT-Delhi.
Talk
by our JMI's Alumni “RabbitMQ:
Messaging which works”, Mohd. Asif also nice one but I failed to
attend that session due to some other works. Last talks was updates
of Fossevents.in which is an idea of Satyakam Goswami and he is
working on that from last 2 years. He also shared the details of
project FOSSYatra which is also a similar kind of project by G.T.Rao.
My
day ended at Airport where I dropped the team of Spoken-Tutorial for
Mumbai. It was a nice experience with all the members of
Spoken-Tutorial.
