Since you are a student of Electronics Engineering, I'd be tempted to point you to the Fedora Electronic Lab [1] since you would be able to relate to it pretty quickly. Moving on from there, collect all like-minded group members and think over the following: + what is it that you exactly want to do at this event ? - this is going to help you give shape to the agenda + who would be interested in attending / participating ? - this should allow you to assess the knowledge + how can Fedora work itself into the daily tasks that they do ? Having an event to just introduce participants to Free and Open Source software is going to be a kind of waste of resources. Since you mention that this is more of an awareness event, having something of an installation festival (install fest in general speak) would allow you guide participants in installing and configuring their boxes. Starting from there, one can slowly introduce them to various Fedora sub-projects (and there are plenty) as well this mailing list, how to use the #fedora-india IRC etc [1] <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraElectronicLab" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraElectronicLab</a> -- <a href="http://www.gutenberg.net" target="_blank">http://www.gutenberg.net</a> - Fine literature digitally re-published <a href="http://www.plos.org" target="_blank">http://www.plos.org</a> - Public Library of Science <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org" target="_blank">http://www.creativecommons.org</a> - Flexible copyright for creative work _______________________________________________ Fedora-india mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-india@redhat.com">Fedora-india@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-india" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-india</a> </blockquote></div> -- -- Nilesh Vaghela ElectroMech Redhat Channel Partner and Training Partner 16, Sun Rise complex, Nr.
