You may like to refer: <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/User:Prakhar">http://wiki.laptop.org/User:Prakhar</a> The DGPLUG workshop is an add-on for me this summer. I'm quite aware of many things that are part of this training. But yes, there also are many things I was unaware of. One step leads to another; when I came acrosss this IRC-based workshop, I got two of my friends also to join in. I consider this also as contribution. As you can see, for me, contribution is not restricted only to coding. Well, this has put me to think: Is promoting Open Source in any form or through any kind of event not counted as contribution to the community? Would love to read your thoughts.
