Anna Univ, Coimbatore has two FOSS subjects Open Source Software (theory + practical) in the sixth semester Open Source Tools and Components (theory only) in the eighth semester and Anna University (Chennai or for all?) has > FOSS Lab. Chennai (CS-2406) and Thirunelveli (CS-77) Colleges with FOSS enabled staff don't seem to have much problem > but others have faced difficulties. Myself trained about 130+ college staffs in six different workshops to handle FOSS Lab in between March '2011 to August ' 2011. National Engineering College, Kovilpatti, Tuticorin Dt. MIT, Chennai S.M.K. Fomra Institute of Technology, Chennai DMI College of Engineering, Chennai St. Xaviers Catholic College of Engineering, Thovalai, KK Dt. KCG College of Technology, Chennai In this > respect, making the relevant slides, presentations, etc., might be worth > the trouble. I understand there is a manual for FOSS Lab. It could be > elaborated or reworked -- by the general norms, a companion for the FOSS > Lab manual (?sic) > Out of 12 lab exercises in FOSS Lab, myself created video tutorials for 9 (except PHP/PERL/Python) and given to all the colleges. Both staffs and students have utilised them when working in the labs. This year, 40+ new colleges will be additionally taking the FOSS lab courses. So, 2 or more workshops this year would definitely help these new colleges. Regards S.
