Lot of colleges have already invited ILUG Cochin for seminars and presentations. ILUG -Cochin chapter should work as a mentor for Eng/Graduate students.we have a lot of volunteers who are having experience/knowledge in this domain. Yes its a good idea, but first we need to make students understand of the community framework, so that they can come forward rather than we push them. Besides a lot of volunteers in ILUG Cochin have mentored students from different parts of Ernakulam. But unfortunately we do not have any record or archive of the project/ assignment they have done. I think its very important to archive ideas and projects so that we have a pool of them which will be referenced by students.

( cut off to get into a company) in any case if they get into a company the company trains them. regards cherian *http://www.alappuzhaonline.com* <http://www.alappuzhaonline.com/>* * *Alappuzha* - The most beautiful place in Kerala, also called the Venice of the East http://www.keralatravelandtourism.in/ *Kerala*, state in India.

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 Regards Sameer Mohamed Thahir -- Regards, Jain M Johny -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Mailinglist mailing list [email protected] http://ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org
