FOSS Promotion during edx 2007

Sigh finally i have some moment to jote down everything that happens for the past few weeks. With the upcoming final exams. Test and exams, assigment need to be submitted, i could hardly breath.

Anyway during last Wednesday and Thursday the UTP-OSS in conjuction in syntech managed to open our FOSS booth at the UTP EDX 2007. (in case u r wondering EDX is engineering exhibition).

As usual we me and kagesenshi rigs and box are bring on to display the latest Fedora 7 and Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. While Kagesenshi explain the essential and why we should use FOSS Software i took my time to explain how software bugs are found and some classsical example of a b0f attack using Gera's law and Izik Paper (under DVL VM and Ubuntu 6.06 VM).

Well we did managed to attract some crowd who are curious. However the future of FOSS is still cloudy inside my campus.. (yeah i believe only 3-4 students who are on Linux 24/7 all the time ) . sigh.
