These are v. good ideas. I would also suggest that you
talk to the management and implement something of what
they want. e.g. if some office people are using ms
office and ms windows to keep data, then maybe 5%
computers can be converted into linux + OO. This is
cos, I would also like to see an interest building in
linux at the top mgmt level. When they start seeing
the cost savings, I think they would support
officially. Once they start using officially, then you
(the students) will get to know the real time problems
of end users. And I think that is imp. in the long run
for both college as well as the students.
In fact with the official college switch, you can
create a case study. You can approach small
industries/businesses and help them make switch.
Ofcourse these small businesses should pay you
(students) for the knowledge and the help for making
the switch. 'Cos I know a company of maybe 20 people
who use linux, since they cant afford ms windows. (i
mean they can. but why should they pay when they get
it free?)
The students can put these case studies (of college as
well and industry) on their resumes, which will be
helpful in the long run.
