Software Freedom week @ BVB Hubli

Emphasis was on making a favorable impact on all the people to whom the
event reached out, rather than just creating FOSS awareness. The events
were designed to sustain the FOSS spirit beyond the week and aid the
people who wish to embrace the open source revolution by providing
support in terms of training/installation & closed to open source
migration assistance. The event was a preface to the Year long
activities carried out by the Open Source Developer’s Community of
BVBCET. It all began with a grand Inaugural on 14th September 2008 in
Biotech seminar hall of B.V. Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering &
Technology, Hubli, India. I was the guest of honor. The function was
presided by Dr Ashok Shettar - Principal BVBCET, and was graced by Prof
B.L.Desai - Vice Principal, BVBCET, Dr. Satish Annigeri - Dean Academic
Affairs, BVBCET, Dr R.M. Banakar - Branch Counselor IEEE Student
Chapter, Mr. Shankar Setty - Faculty, Info. Sc. & Engg. Dep
