Tomorrow (Dec 10 2005) 3.00pm is the FOSS-EDU meet at (PESIT) Tea House. Its near
DevegowdaPetrol Bunk a few meters from Sagar Apollo Clinic. There is a
Planet Bajaj
Showroom too.

Tea House is some 2-3kms from Banashankari Bus Terminal. Its a straight
drive from Banashankari Bus Terminal on Ring Road ( 100 ft). Landmark is
DEVEGOWDA PETROL BUNK where tea house is located. This petrol bunk is a very
popular landmark. It will take some 20 mins from Jaynagar to reach there. If
u are coming from MG Road area, take the Mysore Road FlyOver so that you
dont get confused. Come straight on Mysore Road and then take a left to Ring
Road.

The focus is how to involve students in the FOSS process.
==Updated list of topics==

* Create apt/yum/portage repos for currently available education tools
-->also kindly do provide the collection of tools on a cd so that atleast the lugs/linux clubs can get a copy and distribute ,because some students who really are interested do not have the bandwidth to download from the net. (this achived by involving live CD folks as stated below)

* Help students to select foss projects as part of academic requirement.
---->as far as VTU is concerned it would be best to brief the students the following semester(march-april,for 3rd year students) so that they can think about it and plan before they get into the 4th year.

* Workout a schedule to conduct workshops and learn foss education tools
--->some workshops to introduce the students how to take up a foss project would definitely be useful in helping them in taking up one.

*How can we help more students to use scholarships/interships to work on FOSS like
* [http://www.in.redhat.com/community/rhscholarship.php Redhat Scholarships]
* [http://www.gnomebangalore.org/?q=nosip Novell internship program]

* [http://t3.dotgnu.info/blog/dotgnu/southern-summer-of-code-2005-11-21-14-44.html DotGnu Southern summer of code]
* [http://www.sarai.net/community/announce.htm#floss Sarai/CSDS Short Term FLOSS Fellowship]
* Servelots/Janastu has volunteer/internship for community and NGO oriented applications,
migration support. http://pantoto.com
* [http://space-kerala.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=8&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 Small Research Grant Programme of SPACE]
--->we could put up the scholarships/interships list on the wiki so that we can provide the link to students looking for the same.

* Involve live CD folks like Sarath (slynux), Arjun (morphing morphix), Moinak Ghosh (Belanix)
(This solves the first problem)
