dear prakash:
Baskar has come up with a version of FOSS Lab Server -- as he felt that the
colleges has a need for it.  He had also asked me about NRCFOSS FOSS
electives and I presume he had picked up the info from the relevant web
pages.

Just as there are many linux distros, some of us could come up with
different ways of providing material to colleges. Of course, the perspective
might differ.

the one thing we have in common with him is the understanding that "download
from net" may not be viable option at many places.

we are working in the realm of free/open source software. anybody could
build afresh or from existing material.

from my point of view, the USP of Baskar is that he could reach out to
colleges. In fact, we had briefly discussed about how NRCFOSS could support
his visits. Since we have been in a transition stage, the discussions were
ongoing and I suggested that he should also meet up with Prof CNK. [the fact
that I was moving off to C-DAC was also a minor factor].

we have to seek collaboration, not collision.

with best wishes
Srinivasan.
