We started on schedule and had many participants from Ilug-CalInfo, the Durgapur LUG (DGPLUG), CSI, NIIT and other places.

A. Mani spoke on different aspects of the Fedora project, the four freedoms associated with FOSS and technical aspects of Publican, ABRT, and making Remixes and Spins. The slides of the talk can be downloaded from this link or this Fedora page. A follow up tutorial on 'Publican' will be conducted by the speaker at a later date.

Ratnadeep Debnath spoke on new features in Fedora 11 and the upcoming Fedora 12. Many of the features were explained in detail in his 45 min talk. The slides of his talk may be found at the second link above.

J. P. Mathews spoke about Ubuntu-9.04 on the Sapienza PC (Intel Atom based light PC). He could not bring the PC for demo as promised due to unavoidable reasons. As Snehashis Chakraborty could not turn up, we had a discussion session instead towards the end of the programme.

During the discussion session, the Bijra school project, Alfresco, Ubuntu server edition, virtualisation and Linux in West Bengal Universities were also discussed. Plenty of Ubuntu-9.04 CDs and Fedora-11 DVDs were distributed during the event. The remaining 20 CDs/DVDs were distributed for redistribution in colleges. Interestingly nobody thought of blowing up the baloons distributed along with the media. T-shirts were given to two speakers and one lucky person in the audience.
