An invitation as a speaker in Amrita Vishvavidyapeetham. I am not fluent in English, but i can handle English, Hindi and Malayalam. However my presentation was in English which was a challenge in FOSTER 09 in my own Farmer English, because there I saw few students who don’t know Malayalam. I shared my mind in front of them and introduced them how I reached GNU/Linux from Windows 98. The capability of OpenOffice.org permits the presentations & spread sheets in any of the formats which MS can’t permit. I shared my spreadsheets with analysis of Indian Rubber Statistics in front of them with the irregularities/mathematical errors on it published by Indian Rubber Board (A statutory Body comes under Ministry of Industry & Commerce). I am thankful to the co-coordinators on choosing me for Foster 09 at Amrita Vidyapeetham.
Mr. Avinash Joshi published a post on it .
Multiple sessions on blogging were included. “I learned to blog late in my
life,” stated Mr. Chandrasekharan Nair, a retired jawan, now a farmer.
Mr. Nair helps other farmers through his blog; he publishes correct
rubber statistics and campaigns against genetically modified crops. “I
am glad I could attend his talk,” said Swapna Laxman, B Tech student.
“The talk was moving and inspirational. Mr. Nair’s experience proves
that age is not a bar for learning new technologies. -
