FOSS-ed on wheels A9

Two weeks ago i got chance to participate to a wonderful event called "FOSS-ed on wheels A9" organized by SL FOSS community , we are running number of event under same brand name of ""FOSS-ed on wheels" all over the country during last there years , but this is a milestone event of this series. We held one event in the one end of the A9 road : Kandy and second event held in the other end of the A9 road : Jaffna.

As usually folks of Computer Society Uni of Peradeniya organized the first event, but most important event is the second one held in Jaffna Uni. This is the first time we got chance to travel on famous A9 road after 30 years of war and AFAIK this is the first FOSS event held in North , we had over 400 participants for this event most of them are Uni students and IT teachers.I hope we can see more FOSS events in Jaffna with this wonderful start

Here you can find my presentation presented in this A9 series .
