+Five of us met at the 'My Tea House' near PESIT on Dec 10 2005 to discuss the future plans fo the FOSS EDU IN group. Some of the topics discussed are listed here
+*Creation of a FOSS course material
+*Consortium for FOSS training
+  consortium -  a group of people, countries, companies, etc. who are working    together on a particular project:
+*Building local communities in different campuses
+*A GNUsletter on to update every months activities.
+*Creation of technical content
+*Selecting FOSS projects which students can take up as academic projects
+*Broadband internet for students
+This was a very interesting point. As high speed internet connection is a must for foss development we should offer it for interested students as scholarships (comapnies like Redhat/Novell/Google/HP/IBM .... can offer it -- It costs just Rs 250 per month per student)
+*FOSS centeres in colleges (Eg: IITB) in association with companies were students get all the facilities for foss development.
+*FOSS campaigns in schools
+As most of the colleges are having exam season we are looking for schools in the mean time as targets. We hope to have some seminars in schools in Bangalore in the coming months.
+* Another interesting project is for a VCD shop in Ulsoor
