Finally we took our first step towards gathering like minded students for an official start of our OSUM workgroup. First of all ,we made ourselves acquainted with 'What is OSUM community all about?' 'How can we use its resources, developers groups, events and webinars?' and 'How Sun Microsystems will support us?'.
We decided the structure of our club by taking up the responsibilities .
We discussed over our motives , 'How we will work together to accomplish our targets?' i.e meetup--->learn--->develop--->contribute for the open source
and side by side spread the words about FOSS, organize workshops and grow our workgroup.
We scheduled our first event focusing on introduction to OSUM. Why open source? Alternatives to commercial software and a guide to GNU/Linux installation.
Overall our first session was great to start with , felt the zeal of participation among our members who came up with practical ideas to be followed.
We are looking forward for you to join us , implement your thoughts ,suggest better ways and most important "share" your knowledge so that we can grow together .

Exactly..And the best suggestion among the students was to use this as a platform to become part of new development of beta releases and products of GNU/Linux as well as other ones..
