This is my first work for the ILUG CAL and also for Linux. Susmit da informed my friend Dipanjan and me about this programme, and we agreed to step into this exciting work. A team of Six ILUG CAL member went to the West Bengal State University, Barasat to give a training on basic computing using Linux, Fedora Distro, and also the uses of OpenOffice.org, which was organised by IOTA & WBSUB.

1) Indranil DasGupta , Co-ordinator ILUG CAL
2) Susmit Shannigrahi, Fedora Ambassador

Indranil DasGupta was our Team leader at this workshop.
The Workshop
The training was organised from the 2nd to the 4th of October. The training used to start from 10:30 am and went upto 5:30 pm.
The training was held in the WBSUB, which was found 5 to 6 months ago. So there was no proper lab setup. Only brand new PCs were there. On the first Day, Dipanjan Ravi and I worked on the lab to install Fedora 9 on 16 PCs. During that time Susmit da went to Chandni Chowk to collect Wireless Router, CAT5 cable, RJ-45 jacks and other tools to setup a WiFi connection in the university. During that time Indranil Da took an introductory session on GNU/LINUX environment. After that session Susmit Da and Indra Da took a session on the Installation process of Fedora 9 and the basic features of Fedora.
On The Second Day Dipanjan, Ravi and I took a whole day session on the use of OpenOffice.org. It was a long lecture session and at the end of that session, the Students attended a practical session and solved the assignments given by us. First I took a session on Openoffice.org Writer and the common parts of all open office packages. Then Ravi took a session on OpenOffice.org Impress and last but not the least Dipanjan took a session on OpenOffice.org Calc and Mailmerge.
The third day session was on using the Internet and E-Mailing. I, at first, took the session on Emailing, Indra Da helped me to make my points clearer to the students. And then he took the session on Internet browsing. Overall the workshop was really Successful.
At the End of the program Prof. Kamalesh Bhaumik ,Registrar of the University, distributed the certificates and the Vice Chancellor - Prof Thakur addressed the closing session.
