==Opportunity for students==

Arky had a good point that now every student had atleast heard of FOSS and sees it as an opportunity for them. From an employers perspective if you have contributed code then they can easily assess the capabilities by simply checking the cvs commits. Thejesh talked about the advantage that students get when doing a real life project in BMS. He will be co-ordinating a session in Saptagiri where FOSS projects done by students will be highlighted and students will be guided to choose FOSS for their academic projects. Arky ~~had~~ an ~~experience~~ in guiding a team of students to do a project for NGOs. He is ready to guide more students.
