Since, we already have LTSP experts at Pulchowk Engineering Campus and KU, we decided that it would be better if a session was conducted for them separately while allowing others to attend a general ToT.
A 1 day LTSP ToT was planned for students of Pulchowk Engineering Campus. Applications were asked from students of 1st year to 3rd year. Though the students had very short span to submit the application, there were nearly 75 applications. Each of them very competitive. But the final list could not include more than 24 (who were selected on the basis of application form that had some general queries). The training was conducted for students of Pulchowk Campus on 6 December '08. The students were instructed by Shishir Jha, Bibek Shrestha, Jitendra Harlalka and Suraj Sapkota. Some of the IOEians who were participants in 1st LTSP ToT (some of them have even deployed an e-library since then) volunteered during the event. Some of the enthusiasts were quick enough to try the technology on their system the same evening.
In the meanwhile, a notice was floated in FOSS-Nepal mailing list along with college coordination mailing list for a LTSP ToT for students of colleges (well, it could include professionals as well) other than Pulchowk Campus and KU. The response to this ToT was even greater. And, everyone wanted themselves to be accomoted in the final list. The final list saw 21 applicants and a teacher each from school in Bara, Lamjung and Chitwan. The three districts are the ones that are soon to have e-liberaries.
This ToT was a two day event (13-14 December '08). Mr. Arun Basnet, President, Help Nepal Network, Nepal Chapter, Mr. Rama Nath Shrestha, Educational Co-ordinator, Help Nepal Network, Mr. Pravin Raj Joshi, Owner, Brihaspati Vidya Sadan were present during the opening session on 13 December. They briefly spoke about the e-library cause for the upliftment of rural Nepal.
The session was followed by a speech by Mr. Subir Pradhanang, President, FOSS Nepal Community. He highlighted about the need of FOSS in Nepalese context and how Open Source projects like LTSP are helping the national cause.
This was immediately followed by technical sessions. The sessions on 13th dealt with Linux and networking basics besides the overview of working of LTSP system. On 14th, the participants practiced LTSP system in pair. Then, there were advanced Linux topics like scripting and regular expressions. The technical sessions were conducted by Shishir Jha, Bibek Shrestha, Jitendra Harlalka, Manish Modi and Suraj Sapkota.
After technical sessions, Mr. Rama Nath Shrestha spoke about the e-library contents and the need to work on producing good quality localized contents. He, then, shared a video of works by Help Nepal Network. The day ended with some group photographs.
The participants of LTSP ToT for Pulchowk Campus and some of the participants of 1st LTSP ToT volunteered during the event for gaining further expertise.
Students of KU are planning to have a LTSP ToT session soon after their exams are over or at the beginning of a new semester.
