I guess, there has been individual efforts by faculty in promoting use of gcc instead of TurboC in their own college. I personally know many faculty members who are part of FSMK Academician Initiative who have been doing this in their own colleges. However an ideal situation would be such that these individual efforts can be combined and a "CC by SA" licensed book along with other study materials can be released similar to efforts by ftacademy.org or CBSE-065 project started by Narendra. This would not only help Faculty to easily shift to gcc but also provide free study materials to students. I am sure then creating awareness among the faculty about the existence of such materials will be the only issue which can be handled by local GLUGs. -- Regards, Vignesh B.
