Hi, A Fedora workshop was organised at St. Joseph's College of Engineering [1], Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India on Friday, June 14, 2013. The participants were students from the Master of Computer Applications (MCA) department. The forenoon session began with an introduction to Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) and Fedora. I explained the various project and communication guidelines [2] that students need to follow, and mentioned the various Fedora sub-projects [3] that they can contribute to. System architecture, and compilation concepts were also discussed. The need to use free and open standards was emphasized. Copyright, and licensing were briefly addressed. After lunch, a programming lab session was held to see how students solve problems. Their code was reviewed, and suggestions for improvement were given. Klavaro [4] was shown to students to learn touch typing. I also gave an overview of GCC using the "Introduction to GCC" [5] presentation. The concept of using revision control systems was illustrated. A demo of Fedora 18 (x86_64) was shown, and the same was installed on the lab desktops. Thanks to Prof. Parvathavarthini Mam for working with me in organizing this workshop. Thanks also to Prof. Shirley for managing the logistics. Few photos taken during the trip are available in my /gallery [6].
