Great news. I am an alumnus of CUSAT, and used to teach the evening LL.B. students. > (i) To form a core group of people interested in Free Software Make sure that there are people from the dept fo computer Sc. and of course, B. Tech UG students. > (ii) To form an egroup for Free Software Movement in Make sure that you do not end up as a 'virtual group'. There are enough people (users) fed up with vulnerablities of proprietary s/w, at least in the school of legal studies. Only, you have to train them to use GNU/Linux systems. I got my first lesson in 'vendor dependence' from here. In 1996, the Sch. fo Legl. Studies had started giving 'training' to staff and students @ Rs. 25/- for two weeks' training to four persons on a single system. When I went back there, this time as a teacher, I found that there was network, with all its allied vulnerablities. The users were quite fed up with frequent virul attacks and re-installations. But, no one was interested in having a GNU / Linux installation coz. they were not comfortable with the interface. > (iii) To start loading Linux in the systems of interested users Incidentally, I have observed that a large number of systems ( in several depts. ) run unauthorised copies. _______________________________________________ Fsf-friends mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mm.gnu.org.in/mailman/listinfo/fsf-friends
