Dear Krishnakant,
Thanks for your encouraging mail. Greetings to Prof. Shitole. In 2007, I was at IIT Kanpur as part of BOS(CS,IT &MCA) of UPTU and we shifted CS,IT final year labs to 100% FOSS. That syllabus was active till 2011 but still they have not changed the syllabus of labs. I hope the vigilant institutes followed our course instructions. I was HOD-IT of my college and my faculty members showed the maximum resistance when I tried to replace their Turbo C++ with gcc. I felt the difference between de jure and de facto. 5 years later, I have a chairman who wants maximum possible removal of non-FOSS. We have the standard labs which every college has. As you suggested, I'll surely select PostgreSQL and netbeans for respective labs. Can we replace Rational Rose with something FOSS? We tried doxygen long back in 2009. No comments on that experience :) -- Mohit Singh ------------------ *Today's Imagination is Tomorrow's Innovation Today's Innovation is Tomorrow's Common Sense Today's Common Sense is Tomorrow's Nonsense * _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
