Agenda: Building up a strong Free Software team, Campaign for Document Freedom, representation to VTU about review of syllabus ( BE /MCA /MTECH - computer science streams )
Minutes
We started discussing the plans of syllabus review for de-branding and including Free Software. We decided to meet professor in charge of syllabus review for computer science engineering, information techonology and MCA at MSRIT next Saturday, 5th July 2008 and talk about importance of Free Software in Education. We will review the syllabus online and organize a session inviting faculties to discuss the syllabus and present our feedbacks to the syllabus review committee for consideration. The important requirement is to find resource persons for each of the Free Software tools that we propose and demonstrating solutions to the problem statements in the syllabus. Renuka Prasad is confident about BE-CS, BE-ISE and MCA, but we need to find resource persons for other branches. We discussed about ME, CE and BT.
We have also decided to have GNU/Linux installation fests in as many colleges in Bangalore starting with RVCE, BMSCE, PESIT, MSRIT and AIT.
