Salam alaikom,<br><br>Very great opportunity, I think we need to have the LoCo within the loop of emails.<br><br>Now regarding the crash course, I think that the 5 days crash course is good.<br><br>Day 1- Introduction to Open Source and Free Software<br>
<br>Day 2-<br> Installing Ubuntu/Kubuntu<br> Introducing the application and the GUI environments<br><br>Day 3-<br> What is Root user?<br> Checking your hardware<br> Connect to the network and Internet<br>
Getting help (man, forums, etc ...)<br><br>Day 4- How to install more or update your packages (apt-get, synaptic, etc ...), what is the sources.list file, getting packages from 3rd party sources.<br><br>Day 5- Introduction to Essential Commands and Bash<br>
<br>This is my suggested course outline, and I am willing to give some of them on Saturdays, except for Day2, since I am not GUI expert.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Khamis Siksek<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/2/20 Loai Farajallah <<a href="mailto:loai.farajallah@gmail.com">loai.farajallah@gmail.com</a>>:<br>

Salam Waleed, <br><br>A 5 days course could be too long a commitment for many. But, insha'Allah, some one will be able to give that much and more. <br><br>However, 10 hours are too much for an introduction course. <br>
<br>Maybe a 2 days crash course designed to show students how things are done and where we go for help at any stage we are stuck with something. <br><br>Intro Course: <br><br>Day One: Download, Install, Boot. Root/User accounts<br>
Day Two: Networking . Get Online, Email clients, IRC networks...<br><br>Then you could proceed to a second and third in a week or two after that. <br><br>Intermediate Course: <br><br>Day One: Programing On Linux Platform. gcc and such <br>
Day Two: Programing On Linux Platform. php and such or something else<br><br><br>Advanced Course: <br><br>Day One: Introduction to Internet Servers : Apache, Postfix, Cyrus<br>Day Two: Intro to Security. Firewalls, Proxy .... <br>
<br><br>and such .. <br><br> JU IEEE duties will be: <br><br>- Advertisement and registration<br>- Place and equipment <br>- Coordination and communications <br><br>A minimum of 30 pre registered and committed to attend has to be reached well in advanced. Other wise, Course will be postponed or canceled. <br>
<br><br>I know two Jolugers who are excellent for the job. They are knowledgeable and dependable. I will not say their names yet as to give them time to answer this themselves. They both work afternoons so scheduling has to be done if they are willing and able to be of help. <br>
<br>It is a good move on your part although we don't have much time. It is a good idea if you can plan ahead for next semester now. It could be a recurijng yearly event that JU IEEE can plan for along its regular activities. <br>
<br><br>Have a great day. <br><br>Wassalam Alaikum wr wb<br><span><br>Abdallah <br></span><div><span><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 20, 2008 5:11 AM, Waleed Tuffaha <<a href="mailto:tuffaha@gmail.com" target="_blank">tuffaha@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

<br>Some ideas about the course:<br> - it will probably be 5 days, around 2 hours a day in the afternoon. ( the time and date are not yet fixed, but we want to make the course before the mid-term exams in the uni, so before 20/3 ).<br>
- it should cover Ubuntu installation, and we hope by the end of the course the student will have the basics for using Linux ( instead of window$ ).<br> <br> Since the volunteers will have more experience than us in Linux-courses, we will be flexible and we welcome any suggestions. We ask the volunteers to suggest a syllabus for the course. We think it will be better if more than one volunteer give the course together.<br>
<br> If there are enthusiastic volunteers who which to share their knowledge and have the time to do so, please contact us :).<br clear="all"><br>Thank you.<br><br>-- <br>Waleed Tuffaha.<br>0788-704590<br>Vice Chair of the JU IEEE Student Branch.<br>
