Hi friends.. I tried asking before.. but let me try once again.. there used to be ilug kochi..where I had actively participated in 2006. It was in an internet club.. called Jay's internet cafe located at top of SBI treachery in Broadway. I hope there are some people who know about this here. We used to help organize and participate in cyber security conferences organised by kochi police and others. Many people knew Jay sir. I was trying to reach him or speak with someone who may know him. Do let me know if anyone has any information. https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2009/May/31/free-software-activists-organise-training-workshop-53704.html. "The concept is to make more students aware of free and open source software and the ideology behind this movement. Freedom of software ensures students to share the knowledge that they possess among them.

Therefore the attempt is to extend similar programmes and workshops to other schools also in future," said Jay Jacob, founding member of ILUG Kochi.
