You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights
from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the
rules: laws and constitution.

FOSSCell now! Wonder if there is a way to follow their activities.
Thanks a lot for the share, Praveenetta.
Have to say though, It is going a bit too far putting my name next to
Santhoshettan's. ;)

I proposed a two day debian packaging workshop as a follow up activity.
You can also join #fossnss:matrix.org via Riot app. Matrix is a Free Software powered and federated replacement for WhatsApp, Telegram, Skype, Hangouts, Facebook Chat etc. Riot is the most feature complete app for android and desktop. I'm happy to see them using Matrix even before I tell them :) (the usual scenario is, I tell people about Matrix, they use it for a week and forget about it).
We also run a matrix server at poddery.com (use the same username and password as diaspora and change home server option to poddery.com).
Poddery is another project Nandaja and Haris was involved and I'm happy to tell it is still running fine and with new volunteers and features (bigger server too).

The FOSS Cell inauguration of NSS College of Engineering, in association with iEDC was done with the support of enthusiastic participants from the college on 29 August 2019.
Mr.Praveen Arimbrathodiyil was the cheif guest of the function. The program was a successful event under the banner of FOSS Cell and it witnessed the official announcement of "HASP", the developer community of NSSCE.
The inaugural ceremony was done by Mr.Praveen Arimbrathodiyil and the official announcement was done by Mrs.Sruthy Chnadran, active Debian contributor. The function concluded with a session by Mr.Praveen and Mrs.Sruthy
The program was commenced at 3 in the afternoon at the E-one Hall. Staff coordinator Asst Prof. Syam Shankar delivered the welcome speech. He added a note of how things were done from the beginning to make this event a big success. The inauguration was presided by Dr.Sudha T, principal of NSSCE. She mentioned the efforts she had taken to make everyone shift to the FOSS Culture. She also added that the cell should be taken as a "College Cell" and should not be limited to Computer Science department. The inaugural ceremony was done by lighting the lamp by Mr.Praveen Arimbrathodiyil. Well known as Pirate Praveen, he is one of the oldest members of the Indian free software community. He is a Debian developer, a grassroots activist, a free software advocate and a pirate. He gave a short lecture on how FOSS are better Proprietary software. The official logo of FOSS Cell was launched by Principal, Dr Sudha T followed by the official announcement of Hacker Space, the developer community of NSSCE by Mrs.Sruthy Chandran. A memento was presented to Mr.Praveen Arimbrathodiyil,by Principal. Dr.Sindhu S(HOD,Dept of CSE), felicitated. The inaugural ceremony was concluded with a vote of thanks by Abhinav Krishna C K(FOSS Cell Student Coordinator,NSSCE).
A short and crisp session on Free and Open Source Software was taken by Mr.Praveen and Mrs.Sruthy in which students of various Semesters actively participated. The "free" in the Free and Open Source ,often mistaken as gratin but is actually libre, which provides the user all four freedoms. The session discussed on various aspects of the importance of freedom,privacy and security which was an enlightening one to every naive user to know about the issues faced by them. They also added that there should be programs that are controlled by the user rather than program which control users and thereby limit our freedom. The session was a helpful one for students as it dealt with all the aspects of FOSS and difficulties faced by them for changing to FOSS systems.
