Most students would not be aware of the need to use a version control system, have a defect reporting system or, having publicly available plans. More importantly, their curriculum does not teach them to be aware of the need to accept patches from others and integrate into the code-base. FOSS provides a way to do all of the above in a peer-reviewed way. If we can begin with the aim of enabling students to be better developers, FOSS would be a parallel track. A "biggest developer community on earth" begins at home - if all of us do our little bit to inculcate the "free culture" habit, it would lead to development in all aspects of software, content and society. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog> _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
