MSU BCA students' Install Fest' a treat for IT savvy
,----[ Quote ]
| This is one fest in M S University (MSU) that
| will definitely be different from the usual
| students' events. Install Fest - to be hosted
| by Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA)
| students - will celebrate the launch of two
| operating systems by Linux Worldwide. Instead
| of the usual cultural and competitive events,
| visitors will be given demonstration of the
| systems and can even download it in laptops
| or CPUs as well as pen drives.
|
| This event is on similar lines that happen in
| software hubs like Silicon Valley in USA on
| every weekend. The fest will begin with
| demonstration of the usage and features of
| the community driven operating systems -
| OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. BCA students will also
| orient people on different uses of Linux like
| coding, presentations, office, gaming,
| designing and other features in the Saturday
| event.
