VGLUG is dedicated to empowering rural college students through technology education.
As part of this initiative, we conduct weekly training sessions on Python With GenAI and DevSecOps..
Due to the large number of participants, the training is organized into six teams:
- Python & GenAI – Linus Torvalds(Team 1) & Grace Hopper(Team 2): Assigned to Engineering students
- Python & GenAI – Richard Stallman(Team 1) & Aron Swatz (Team 2): Assigned to Arts and Science students
- DevSecOps – Ada Lovelace (Arts) & Bob Thomas (Engg): Comprising both Engineering and Arts students
These sessions focus on practical knowledge of Python, GenAI, DevSecOps, free and open-source tools, and also include social awareness and community engagement activities.

Minutes of the Meeting
Python With GenAI – Richard Stallman & Aron Swatz(Arts)
Session 1: Introduction to Python and Memory Management – Sathish & Vijayalakshmi
we introduced Python, a simple and powerful programming language. We explained how Python is easy to read and write, making it a good choice for beginners. We also discussed its wide use in areas like web development, data science, and AI.
We then explained how memory management works in Python. Python handles memory automatically using a method called Garbage Collection. It removes unused data from memory, helping the program run smoothly.
Session 2: WordPress – Vasanth & Kanimozhi
we introduced WordPress, a user-friendly platform for building websites without needing to write code. We explained the basics of WordPress, including how to choose themes, create pages, and install plugins to add new features.
As part of the hands-on activity, each student created their own personal website using WordPress. They explored the dashboard, customized their site, and published their first technical blog post.
Both sessions were attended by around 90 students. The students actively participated and successfully completed the activities given in both sessions.
DevSecOps:
Session 1: DevOps Roadmap
we introduced the DevOps Roadmap, which helps students understand the step-by-step path to becoming a DevOps engineer. We explained the importance of DevOps in today’s software industry and how it bridges the gap between development and operations teams.
- Basics of Linux and Command Line
- Git & GitHub for version control
- CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions
- Basics of Docker and Kubernetes
- Importance of monitoring and cloud platforms (like AWS)
Session 2: WordPress –Vignesh
