Hi Balu, Once you have this document, share it with everyone so it helps more people start Free Software activities in their campuses.
Add a section to mentor people to contribute to Free Software. A great way for people to work with real world software and learn from the best programmers in the world. One analogy that Prof. Abhijit of college of engineering Pune uses is a comparison of Mechanical engineering and Computer science. No mechanical engineering student get to see the design of Mercedez Benz, BMW or Ferrari, but computer science students have the privillege to see the code for the best tools in the filed like kernels, compilers etc. It is made possible by Free Software. Students should make use of this privilege. Many of the advancements in science and technology is made by improving what is currently availeble. Getting into Free Software is best way for computer science students to understand how things work. Also the exerience of working with software used by people every day will help them understand real problems people have and prepare them to solve real world problems. Also search for vtu floss campaign and you'll find some good arguments. Let us know how it goes.
