Dear All, In the recent times, we are getting more enquiries from technical institutions to implement open source lab and we also have setup many open source labs in these institutions across Tamilnadu (Now, Polytechnics were also showing more interest in having Open Source labs and we already have setup in 2 Polytechnics running successfully)
Now, LinuXpert Systems has been taking initiative to setup open source labs in about 1500+ Technical Institutions (Polytechnics, Arts & Science Colleges, Engineering Colleges, Universities) across Tamilnadu (for the first time, the foss lab setup would be done at free of cost). The main objective behind this initiative is to successfully implement and support for FOSS enabled Technical / Engineering education in Tamilnadu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By 2012, all Technical / Engineering Institutions should feel comfortable using / training their students on Free / Open Source Softwares To provide complete alternative FOSS solution for every Proprietary Software used in education Encouraging students/staffs members to get participated in FOSS development Interacting with College/Institution Management for successful implementation of FOSS throughout the institution (not limiting to CSE/IT dept anymore) In this regard, we are looking for volunteers to support our initiative in setting up of FOSS Labs (preferably freshers, who might be looking for experience in FOSS) and also everyone's feedback.
