seminar details
The seminar started at around 3:15 . Around 5-6 PLUCians were there at the time of start , some joined later . At the start there were around 90+ students ; the figure was later reduced considerably , due to resons like :-
the mic wasn't working properly and the first speaker wasn;t lound enough to be heard by the back benchers .
The second presntation wentvery well.IPV6 was discussed in almost detail and not a simgle person left the hall during that presentaion .
The third presentation started late and althoug it was a good presentation some people left because it was already too late .
All in all it was a good seminar . I would rate it around 7( 6.7 may be ) out of 10 .

seminar - ku, dcs
glitches:
- the seminar started late. partly because of us, but more because of our department's hard-to-bend policies.
- we had not installed staroffice/openoffice on the machine. a big sorry for that.
- one of the html format presentations would not run on anything on linux. so we had to move to windoze.
- the mic wouldnt behave nicely with uzair, causing most of his presentation to become a lil incomprehensible for the listeners.
- after the last presentation, the audience count was less than 50% of the original count.
- no photographs :/
achievements:
- originally had an audience of 100+ in the hall.
- people actually learned something new through basit's presentation. it was very well received.
- quite a few PLUC members attended
personally i think it could have been better, of course there is always room for improvement. but it wasnt all that bad too.

sorry junaid about pictures ... in the future we will try to be a little more responsible regarding pictures !
now ... we would InshAllah have a workshop at SZABIST ... see when r v going to finalize it ...
but this time, pls... pls... don't use any M$ tools i.e Powerpoint etc for the seminar, we have StartOffice, OpenOffice, KOffice etc believe me that could work fine.

u r right regarding this ... but we will wait, if anyone from APTECH etc join our forum, we will talk with them about linux workshop/seminars.
as far as SZABIST/FAST is concenred, we have members of PLUC studying there, so we will talk with them & it would be easier to arrange workshop/seminar etc.
it doesn't mean that we will only wait for them (i.e APTECH) to come to us, we will surely go to them by ourself too, but once we do it at SZABIT/FAST etc.

A couple of comments based on the discussion above.
1. No Powerpoint presentations. In fact, try to not use Windows at all in presentations. Imagine this conversation.
Salesman: Hi maam, I'm going door to door selling bottles of Coke (R). Pepsi sucks, Coke rules. Coke is the best thing since the Ford assembly line. It's got (this, that, ...).
You: Hmm, sounds tempting. What soft drink do you use at home?
Salesman: Umm, Pepsi
2. Details of the events need to be carefully layed out, documented, and announced well in advance for future events. Not only does being late and fumbling around cause inconvenience for the audience, it creates a bad image for the whole group.
Hope we can learn from our failures from this session to make future events a whole lot better, and use the success as motivation to continue the good work.[/b][/i]
