GNU/LINUX habba




The Mysore Linux Users Group and volunteers of Sampada Community had organized talks on GNU/Linux and open source softwares.
It was mainly aimed at introducing Linux for the masses with a focus on using Kannada on the operating system and to introduce GNU/Linux to the non-technical
computer users.
The Session started with a brief introduction about the concept of 'Free Software' - History, origin and evolution of FOSS . There was an interactive session on open source products. The team introduced few softwares like pidgin,kalzium, stellarium.The geeks, non-geeks, users and fans of
GNU/Linux were together, so the talks were not meant for a specific group of people. It was informative , was worth spending few hours of my lazy Sunday morning specially on 'free software day' , on the 25th birthday of GNU operating system.

Thanks for the organizers for hosting such an event in mysore.
