FStival'05

September 10,2005. Software Freedom Day was celebrated across the world. In Madurai we celebrated Software Freedom Day on behalf of GLUGOT and GLUG-Madurai at Thiagarajar College of Engineering. Joe and Balamurugan came here to attend the meeting. The Chief Guest was Dr.Murali from AUKBC research center. MOC was done by Praveen. Chief guest was introduced by Sriram. Welcome speech was given by Senthil Jr and GLUGOT activities was explained by Senthil Kumaran Sr. In the morning session he gave presentation on Free Open Source Software. And at last I gave the vote of thanks. In that speech without turning on the mike I started to read. And then only I realised that mike was not turned on. After this I turned on the mike.

After the presentation demo was conducted. Most of the stalls were handled by juniors and GTK Glade and LAMP was conducted by 3rd years and Senthil and I handled GTK Glade.
And the important matter is appearance of Joe and Balamurugan was different. In the afternoon session there was a formal TCENet meeting. After this meeting we had a break at Annan kadai and at evening we went to Madura Park-Inn and had a great dinner. So the whole day was enjoyable.
