Revision as of 21:49, 9 December 2005
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
* Redhat Scholarships * Novell internship program * Google Summer of Code
* DotGnu Southern summer of code
Almost completely claimed for ... sadly. Aleksey Demakov is working on
libjit and has done a significant bit of the code required. He knows
what he's doing and he's doing it :)
And it wasn't a student internship project - it was technically a bounty
open for all.
* Sarai/CSDS Short Term FLOSS Fellowship * Servelots/Janastu has volunteer/internship for community and NGO oriented applications, migration support. http://pantoto.com * 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)
-->'ed comments from Sandesh Kamth, SJCE Mysore
(any thing else ?)
