A Day At Sethu Institute of Technology [SIT]

It became one of the unforgettable moments in my life, my visit to Sethu Institute of Technology [SIT]. The reason behind this is simple, I was honoured as one of the delegates in SIT. I got a call from Joe Steeve the previous day ie., on Sunday night asking me to join with the team which comes to SIT the following day to give a talk on GNU/Linux. On Monday [08-08-2005], I went to hotel Supreme, Madurai to meet Joe and the team. I could see four people there, discussing something seriously about GNU/Linux in Madurai. I went inside and joined the discussion. Sometime later we were taken in a car to SIT campus. I couldn beleive that I was made a delegate in the talk that followed. We were four people who were about to give the talk. 1) Mr. Hari Ram Athreya [Scientist, AUKBC] 2) Mr. Chandrasekar.T.V [Project Engineer, AUKBC] 3) Mr. Amalan Joe Steeve [Software Engineer, TGS] 4) Myself :) They came as a part of NRCF, from Anna University KB Chandrasekar [AUKBC] research center. These guyz are responsible for framing the syllabus for the elective on FOSS to the sixth semester students of Anna University. I represented as the Moderator of GNU/Linux User Groups of Madurai [glug-madurai], and spoke about the activities which are going on in this user group. It was an experience for me to talk in front of the students and staffs of around eleven engineering colleges [in and around madurai]. I feel that this was a great opportunity for me. Hope this may continue :)
