Introduction OM Engineering College has established Open Source Technologies Club (OSTC) for providing as well as utilizing benefits of latest free and open source technologies under guideline of Gujarat Technological University and Spoken tutorial at IIT Bombay. OM Engineering College have setup Open Source Technology Club before two years. We were done many activities under OSTC since starting. We have converted our whole institute in open source environment. Based on our efforts on open source technology GTU have given duties of nodal centre of OSTC for Junagadh Sankul. As a nodal centre we have done many activities to spread open source technology to different institute of Junagadh sankul. We helped many Technical and non technical colleges to setup OSTC at their campus. As part of this effort maximum institute can take benefits of our initiative and the same demanded by head of different institute, we have organized seminar on Use of Open Source Software in Academic & How to setup Open Source Technology Club (OSTC) in your Institute. We have invited about 40 colleges representative of our region to take part in this seminar. Page 4

Invitation Letter We went personally to every college of Junagadh region and some colleges of Porbandar, Amreli, Jetpur and veraval for invite the head of institute and their representative. Below is our official invitation letter which we have sent to invited colleges. Page 5

List of Invited Institute For Seminar We have invited following colleges of Junagadh, Amreli, Veraval, Jetpur and Porbandar to attend seminar as a part of sankul activities. c o lla g e c o u rc e s c it y 1 M.

BENEFITS OF THIS SEMINAR To give the brief knowledge about the open source technology to other college's faculty and encourage them to use this technology. Because of below reason: It s generally free it has been estimated that open source software collectively saves businesses $60 billion a year. It s continually evolving in real time as developers add to it and modify it. You can modify and adapt open source software for your own business requirements, something that is not possible with proprietary systems. Provide more secure environment. Availability of source code coupled with permission to make modifications; Access open source development community, which may be very active with respect to code used. Continuing improvement; outstanding development; More likely to be built to open standards, so interoperable with other open standards systems Benefits to students o Easy to do Innovation o Easy to get Training ground o Provide standard coding knowledge o Skills o Experience and Networking Page 11

CONCLUSION By conducting this Seminar, faculties got some brief ideas regarding what are the benefits of open source technology and how to use Open Source Technologies. This will be beneficial to faculties as well as students. This seminar will be helpful to other colleges faculties member and also student for improve their development skill. Around 40 college's Representative faculty members were benefited and the faculty members of Computer department has attended this Seminar and got the knowledge about the Open source Technology.
