Hello everybody..Nice and constructive feedback from you guys. looking forward for some improvement next time.I did emphasize on some basic linux commands with demo at the beginning but since i have to deal with ethical aspect i.e. to de authenticate the wifi at the uni there, this surely sounds illegal!!.. however next time, a router would be more suitable personalize for that type of demo. Hmm ya.. about the crash stuff, I'm really sorry and by the time selven was restarting it, i was trying to entertain the audience. Hope next time things went on more smoothly though i have so many friend request on Facebook where many are asking more about LUGM..regardsnitin j mutkawoa

> However some things to improve on:
> - Do not schedule event while there are examsIn the morning there were around 100 students and around 13h there were like 20-30. I was talking to some friends about this event and all of them said they had exams on this day.
> - Schedule interesting talks/demos in the first place.Nitin was there talking about kali linux/ethical hacking and there were only around 30 guys
> - Be more demo-oriented rather than speech orientedE.g. Nitin was talking more about kali rather than doing more and more demo. His speech was slow
> - Be More interactive.Ask the students if they use linux. If so, bring them forward to try out some stuff during demo...
> I appologise if you guys did things I mentioned above because I was not there since morning....
