We as a team working for writing a CC-By-SA licensed textbook for class 11th. You can look for syllabus here http://code.google.com/p/cbse-065/wiki/syllabus , syllabus include Java/MySQL . I would like to make a request to Python and PostgreSQL community to design a new syllabus for CBSE class 11th which include python and PostgreSQL in place of Java/MySQL . Community members can join http://code.google.com/p/cbse-065 to start this initiative too. http://code.google.com/p/cbse-065/wiki/Alternate_Syllabus I as a educationalist believe that we must teach "vendor neutral education". At the same time we must teach multiple community based products (like MySQL with PostgreSQL, GTK , Phthon with Java). You can join our project and start making book/syllabus. These changes in syllabus may be included in future. At the same time even if these things are not there in syllabus, If book is ready with alternate tools , student might get better exposure to FOSS world.
