Welcome to the website of Nixal - the
GNU/Linux user group of Netaji Subhash Engineering
College (NSEC). Nixal was
inaugurated by Mr. Richard
M. Stallman on 19th February 2003. The group was formed to
learn about and contribute to GNU/Linux and spread the message of free
software movement.
Location wise Nixal is in Calcutta, India. (
Calcutta is now known as Kolkata! )
We are grateful to FSF for providing us with this web space in
their server. We express our gratitude and thanks to Mr.
Richard M. Stallman and Mr. John Paul Wallington.
Without their support and help this website would never have been
possible.
Nixal was formed by the students of the 2003 batch of our
college. This group is basically the brainchild of Mr.
Asis Biswas, a student of the same batch from Computer
Science & Engineering department.
Right now we are some students of NSEC. We happen to have a small
lab set up and a few computers dedicated for our use at a lab at first
floor of our college. We plan to meet at least once every month at the
Nixal lab, and hold seminars occasionally. Though we started as a small
group, we are growing nicely! (And trust me, people are getting used to
listning to GNU/Linux related discussions in our college! Amazing,
huh?). We enjoy support at the lab from some of our very enthusiastic
teachers.
You don't have to
be a student of our college, if you think, sleep, eat, laugh, cry, love
GNU/Linux, or even
want to - do join us. If you want to become a
member of our group you can directly subscribe to the
mailing list given below. If you are or were a student of NSEC then you can also contact us
directly. Please check out
the members' page for information on
coordinators and ask them for a membership (it's no big deal!). Please feel
free to contact us if you have any queries.
Like all other Calcuttans (or Kolkatans) we think a GNU/Linux user
group from Calcutta cannot be compete without a small page on our big
city. So we have included a documentary in our website. Check here.
