Thinking Big with FOSS Nepal Community

I know peoples from IOE, ASCOL, Malpi, KEC, KCC, Rato bangala and most of other colleges in Nepal, how?

I got into this small but enthusiastic platform called FOSS Nepal community where everybody has one motive, to promote and advocate FOSS in Nepal. We organize events, we have fun and we disperse.This has been the tradition of FOSS Nepal over the years, but I cannot see the development, how FOSS Nepal Community will grow!!

Organizing three event more than last year won't prove that we are growing.. so then came the role of some donor agencies such as Help Nepal Network. And we started a project called LTSP under the mission "One e-library per school". Then we started seeing we had at least something that we can contribute to society not just philosophy of FOSS. That was quite a achievement, but sustaining and maintain it was much more difficult than establishing it. FOSS Research and Training Center was perfect answer to it this argument.

But my question is, Is this attempt enough to make every user free from proprietary software?? South Asians are regarded as people who can work hard and think!! but we never think big... Even if we go to doorsteps, people are not trying to understand what is good for them.. they are not trying to change.. that is why they have proprietary software in their system, isn't it?

I don't hate people using proprietary system, I use proprietary system. But it binds me, it binds my freedom. It shows me blank screen when I have to finish my project report by morning. It eats my memory, and most importantly sucks my battery power in this energy crisis. You may hate reading all these against your darling proprietary system. But ain't you fond of Compiz fusion in your ubuntu system, don't you like to work on Apache Server than some headache IIS server, there are so much benefits.. but who cares!!

But somebody cared, and they come up with somethings really big like 1 lakh nepalese rupees and showed everyone that FOSS has future in Nepal. "FOSS for enterprises ROCKS!!" Hats Off!! to D2 labs. They gave us Open Source Platform like sourceforge.net for Nepal and they also invited us to work on an open source project competition where the winner will win 1 lakh NRs. Now you tell me!! Ain't you installing FOSS OS in you computer now.. and start using FOSS. If you are reading this, I guess you don't have load sheeding right now, do it now because it wont take you 1 whole hours like some propreitary OS do.. also in no time it install all the software you need.. isn't it cool.. Have dun with FOSS Bye bye!!

Anup sir "It was a gem of presentations I have ever been".

It was during a course -System Analysis and Design- in third year of my bachelor in Engineering. We were trying to prepared a presentation on "Software Project Management". Inspired by Dr. David Wiley's presentation, we went off to give appoxy 5 and half hours presentation talking just about everything in project management. I guess no one in our class would ever forget that presentation, esp. golu because I asked her a question during my presentation and she was like "Ahh!!", haha.. Achyut was confident, Hopax was awesome, I think he set things up then, Aks was terrific esp with Risk management.
I have also uploaded the slides of this presentation. I am sure you wanna have a lot at it. Click here
