Timeline: March 9 – March 13
Location: Central Gono Bidyalaya, Sonargoan

We organized a 5-day long Teacher Professional Development (TPD) training at Central Gono Bidyalaya at Sonargoan. The training provided 18 school teachers with intermediate-level IT skills while simultaneously teaching active educational methodologies. Over the course of the training, participants learned to use Fedora Core 5, OOo Writer, OOo Impress, OOo Calc, Nvu, KolourPaint, The GIMP, along with digital camera operation and the Internet. Food, accommodation and the training itself was provided free of cost.

As of today, I am officially involved with the Fedora Project. I have became the Fedora Ambassador for Bangladesh, and my primary job is to:

• Help spread the word about Fedora, Linux, and Open Source
• Be a point of contact for community members and channel the feedback to Fedora Project
• Help to recruit project contributors
