Hey everyone! Today, we had an exciting Linux installation session at our college. We expected many to do a full Linux installation, but instead, we set up dual boot on 10+ machines!

Topics Covered:
Syed Jafer – FOSS, GLUGs, and open-source communities
Salman – Why FOSS matters & Linux Commands
Dhanasekar – Linux and DevOps
Guhan – GNU and free software

Challenges We Faced

BitLocker Encryption – Had to disable BitLocker on some laptops
BIOS/UEFI Problems – Secure Boot, boot order changes needed
GRUB Issues – Windows not showing up, required boot-repair

Unicode is an international standard extensively adopted across the industry and the Internet to represent Tamil and other languages.  Yet, we still face several legacy issues and ongoing challenges. 

The content from government documents cannot be easily extracted. The conversion of documents from one font to another presents problems due to inconsistencies. There exist various, slightly different standards for phonetic transcription of Tamil into latin scripts.  There are varied keyboard layouts and input styles for desktop and mobile.

Researchers, developers and practitioners continue to evolve solutions to overcome these challenges. The presentations and discussions will identify needs, issues and solutions for working with Tamil content in varied computing environments.
