Ubuntu gutsy CD's for keeps

[kausikram krishnasayee]

Partly when Dinesh and i were on a drive to spread FOSS awareness in college, we had requested for some Ubuntu gutsy CD's that we could distribute in college. i have got with me around 40 of them currently, but tight work schedule has not allowed either of us to finish distributing them in college. Can we have some volunteers who could take these CD's and distribute it appropriately?
It would also be great if you guys could start talking to your juniors about foss. we had managed to talk to the current fourth and third years. would be great if you start talking to your juniors too. Dinesh and i can  come in once in a while too.
we have people like Barathi in this mailing list who are ready to give  demo sessions too. I request some one to take the initiative . constant  and continuous effort is vital in any FOSS development , the same is the case as far as FOSS awareness drive goes. we did it for our juniors, its high time that you started doing this for yours.

E.O.M

I guess we have to give it on first come first serve basis ...as copies can be made further.
Any suggestions please feel free to ask

Volunteers are welcome :)
Please contact us offlist or mail us personally on how to contact you and distribute the CD.

You people can  arrange FOSS monthly meets yourself...please interact on list
As it is our responsibility... Kaushik and I would come to college soon to introduce juniors with FOSS and GNU/Linux
we need coordinators
Some people who are contacting me off the list, please discuss on the mailing list
which will motivate others too and it also serves as a documentation on how to solve similar problems

Though this effort has nothing to do with college, university or syllabus,
but then to understand the world computer science and information technology you ought to use FOSS & Linux.
Please dont wait for anyone (college,staff,university) to enforce it on you...just hack around.

There is also a misconception that FOSS & GNU/Linux is only for CS & IT.
The only way to feel the truth that FOSS & GNU/Linux is for all branches is to plunge and explore them to see what they have got for a Mechanical engineer, Electrical & Electronics engineers.

Example Fedora Electronic Lab

This is for newbies:
I never used Linux once...But now i use only Linux
