Hello All,
I believe its the Free Software community that needs to be involved.
We need free software groups in colleges and schools that can
think independently, there should not be any restriction of an
organization or a group.
Freedom should exist, not just for name sake..
Thank You
Regards

the issues regarding students is
how many are genuinely interested in doing projects? may be 25% in a
class.
knowledge of students in programming will be limited when they are in
college only after they get out will they understand better ( this is
the case with all courses) by the time the project time is over.
the top priority of students is to score well in their exam. ( cut off
to get into a company)
in any case if they get into a company the company trains them.

Every large scale change starts with awareness.
I agree
Students should be aware of their freedom to
choose their own topics.
It is not only about topics, freedom in a broader
sense is being lost in academics on the whole,
Of course, there needs to be a starting point which is
this.
If this issue gets noticed by the academic
community, we can push for a circular from the
university. For that to happen, this needs to be
discussed throughout the community.
What I feel can be done
- Create a pool of project ideas ( there are a lot of
Free Software Projects on the
Internet at different stages of development, we need
to create a sort of legend for
students ,
- Create a page on the Internet that will serve as a
reference to teachers,
so that they are convinced of the scope of the project
and how it can do good
to the student, college and most important the
"Community".
- Once projects are completed they are uploaded to the
website and also
are presented and spoken of at events and Community
group meetings
(like ILUG Cochin), and the project will develop wings.
- This will serve as an example and lesson for the
other students as well
and then we have a whole lot of useful software
created by the students
for the community.
- The Web page also needs information from the normal
users and business
people, so that they can put in their requirements
into the page so that
it becomes " a self sustaining community".
- Finally let us begin upon, and reiterate on what is
the aim of an
academic project in our society and again " the free
software community".
Many times students do not know what path they need to
take to create
something useful for the society.
We need to draft an open letter to all educational
institutions
which states what an academic projects means to the
society and how
important is the freedom for students to pursue their
own interests and how
they can guide them to the right path.
There are lot of teachers and academicians in the
Mailing List. I believe
we can get lot of information from them. :)
Thank You
