University of KwaZulu-Natal Computer Science Society
The Computer Science Society at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus, is a student body whose aim to promote student involvement in extracurricular activities including community development. We also strive to provide social events that promote friendly competition and the sharing of knowledge. As such, Software Freedom Day is certainly an event that we would support.
To accommodate the academic calendar at the University, the event will not take place precisely on the 19th September; the executive committee has yet to decide on an appropriate student friendly day. The event will take place at the Westville Campus, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa in the following two part mannner:
Information Table
- Time: 9:00am - 2.00pm
- Venue: The Quad
Software Exhibition
Time: Forum (6th) Period > 12.20pm - 1.05pm
- Venue: T7
We will be answering question/making recommendations on Open Source Software and demonstrating some of the features of Linux at the Information Table. We will also be handing out custom made pamphlets about Open Source Software. The pamphlets used last year can be found on our website listed below.
During the Software Exhibition we will be demonstrating the various Open Source Software solutions from common applications such as Word Processing to advanced topics such as system file recovery using a LiveCD. The presentation used last year can be downloaded from our website.
