I am also feeling the same but I also want to have a kick start. This
will, I think, create more awareness among students and some of them
will come up. If we are able to help them then it can have a long
lasting chain effect. The problem I feel here is the experience we
lack.
One head can be done easily. I don't know the barcamp structure. I
googled it and I think it is like getting everyone opinion and
starting the discussion. If you mean this, we will be doing this.

We will make NITDgp LUG the parent LUG and encourage members to follow that too.

The Details of LUG is not yet announced. There are a bunch of students
trying out fedora after the KGEC installfest. I have mainly involved
all the active members of installfest.
There are 10 people in the core committee at the moment.
There are some more interested candidates and I plan to involve them
too. These include the few Linux users of our college.

We will surely try out all these stuff, but for the time being, I am
concentrating on establishing a stable LUG in our college.
I will do need the community guidance and help but presently, we need
to create users than developers.
We plan to do these stuff after we get sufficient response and users.

Yes this will be done.

>Have a badge for the head.

We are going with certificates.

Thanks for your support and please do always guide us with the work we
need to do. Sorry the late reply. I am facing a lot of problems due to
limited hrs of internet access in my college. I will do try to give my
best.
