Students should be introduced to the foss ecosystem, such as

* Developer communities

a) Developer communities

* Mailing lists

b) Mailing lists

* IRC

c) IRC

* Wiki

d) Wiki

* Version control

e) Version control

* Bug tracking

f) Bug tracking

* Non technical issue resolution

g) Non technical issue resolution

* Getting people to work in a project

h) Getting people to work in a project

* 'Assigning' work or getting the work done

i) 'Assigning' work or getting the work done

* Legal aspects- various licenses and compatibilities and compliance

j) Legal aspects- various licenses and compatibilities and compliance

All these above areas should be introduced with the help of case

studies and students should work with communities to get to know the

"Producing of OSS"

Student should know the technical aspects of the above items too. For

eg: installing a version control system and its use, Managing a wiki,

Running a mailing list, Hands own experience with a bug tracking

system

A practical evaluation based on the involvement in a foss project will be good

*Technical capability strengthening

* Technical capability strengthening

a) System administration

b) network administration
