Pune/COEP/FOSS Devel Elective
College of Engineering Pune is offering a FOSS Development elective for final year IT (Information Technology) and CE (Computer Engineering) students. Praveen Arimbrathodiyil will be delivering guest lectures during this semester long course. Professor Abhijit AM is coordinating the course from COEP. Lectures are starting from 6th January 2011 morning. The curriculum for this course is available at Curriculum.
Our aim is to help students be part of the FOSS developers community. We are looking for some mentors to help the students. Even though two of us are taking the course, to make the course successful we need participation from the whole FOSS community. We will be using this list to assign mentors. So please add your name and areas you can guide students on that list. The idea is to have one mentor per student through out the course and help him or her to be part of a project community.
Also if you can take any sessions on any of the topics mentioned there, mention your interest on the talk page. We can consider remote sessions over irc or video conferencing too.
Next Steps
Material
We will maintain a common note for all the sessions (everyone is encouraged to maintain their own notes as well). It would serve as a platform for community to engage us and build great course material for everyone else to follow.
