hi, I am happy to announce that the B school has decided to go in for a 60 seat ltsp lab with 2 servers. Special thanks to Basker and his team for their help in this matter. The lab has to pass AICTE inspection for which on the software side they require: legal OS and any 10 software packages. Due to the high cost of multiseat licenses, they have kindly restricted the required list to 10 although there is no upper limit - I hear that some posh B schools have upto 15-20 packages installed. I request list members to recommend packages in the list given under. Please only recommend packages that you have experience with - and give some feedback on the packages. The list is:
wordprocessor spreadsheet presentation statistics project management operations research mis accounting and erp rdbms moodle website building tool bowser language learning tool (language lab) graphing tool email photo editor video editor crm hrm of special interest are statistics and language lab. As far as the erp for running the college is concerned, they are going in for an open source package and will be funding and contributing back to the package - since the deal is not finalised I am not at liberty to disclose what package it is. btw, if your kids, sisters, brothers or you yourself want to do an MBA in an open source environment Suguna Spark B school is a good place. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
