I think this is a good idea. An extension of this could be an online/phone
help centre, where people can call and get some minor problems solved. Its
like a basic step of providing service to everyone who's using linux under
the LII. In fact, support could even be outsourced to some company to
handle.

Not just engineering colleges, but also schools, and management/business
schools. These are the people who would make more decisions about what OS
they want to work on, than engg students, who more or less do use
Unix/Linux based systems.

Mebbe the government can support the LAP initiative of ILUG-Delhi and the
Linux in Schools project of Goa.
