We (I shouldn’t be using we, but anyways) had our first event today. A Talk on “Introduction to Open Source”. Seems like lack (none?) of advertisement did affect the turn out. 10-15 students were present including 2 apache contributors. I gave the talk. We had some nice questions at the end, and I am happy about that.

Below are the slides I used for the same. Some people from Navya suggested that I mixed up Free Culture ideas with Open Source in these slides, but I believe there is an overlap, and I used that overlap. But anyways, I still hope it gave some perspective to audience. I would love to hear your feedback on it.

For those who were curious about how I made the slides. I used Latex and a document style called “beamer”  Think link might be useful : beamer
