My second day at Infotech 2015

October 3, 2015

I’m not very much in shape to type at the moment but I need to say it, finally, I did spend some nice time at Infotech 2015 :)

While the event has reached its third day, I am actually on my second. I reached Swami Vivekananda Int’l Convention Centre (SVICC) along with Shelly around noon and we went to the LUGM stand.

We met Logan and Christian who were on with their robots display. I noticed there were more people than yesterday. I brought my laptop & a monitor which I set up and was ready for some geek chat about Linux if inquisitive people would show up.

However, robots stole the show. Almost everyone who reached out for the LUGM stand were curiously looking at the Arduino robots. Logan would then engage in the explanations and tell them about the Linux User Group of Mauritius (LUGM).

I would shoot the LUGM website on the monitor from time to time; I would check my Facebook & Twitter accounts “publicly” :) Many looked at the monitor curiously, then I would switch to a console window and show a train passing by the screen. Aww!

When shooting random elements on the screen was not fun enough, Shelly and I took more pictures and kept tweeting.

Nayar came shortly afterwards and all three of us went in the main hall for some more fun and did a little bit of shopping. Little bit? Yeah :)

In the afternoon, Ajay arrived with his Raspberry Pi running Kodi. I had brought a 32 inches TV for the display. Oops, I didn’t take any picture of Ajay :-/ I should tomorrow. Will be there to help Ajay with his RPi/Kodi demo.
