==Questionnaire for conducting a FOSS event in a college==
Before conducting any free software workshop, I ask
the following questions (e-mail/phone) to students and
faculty staff of the institute, separately:
1. Have students used GNU/Linux in the college? If
yes, for what purpose? Browsing, chatting, application
development, R&D?
2. Have students done FLOSS projects online?
3. How many hours do students spend their time in the
labs in the college?
4. Are there any companies in the campus doing
projects with students?
5. Do students know any foreign language?
6. How many courses/labs do students do per semester?
7. Do students/faculty get Internet access 24x7? What
about hostel students?
8. Can students/faculty use mobile phones/laptops in
the college premises?
9. Are students/faculty allowed to bring floppies/USB
flash disks/CDs to college and use it in the labs?
10. Are Saturdays working days or are they holidays?
If holidays, what do most students do during weekends?
