| 1. What is Linux Manipur all about?
Linux Manipur is a virtual organisation, where main interaction is done via the Internet. It's bunch of like-minded Manipuris from across the country and abroad, most of us haven't seen each other in person, our common passion got us together and we are striving to spread technical knowledge, raising awareness about the need to spread knowledge. Primary aim is to make awareness of Linux or Free and Open Source Software in Manipur and the North East India, help and guide the students and computer users, share knowledge, discuss technical problems etc. |
