Fewer things have changed from 2007 to now. 1. Internet penetration has increased, atleast lot many people have broadband now, but still things have to improve. 2. Facebook. (the timepass/"hanging out" the author mentions happens online now.) 3. GNU/Linux or open source are not completely new terms for atleast city students, most of them would have heard, many more students *use* opensource (be it ubuntu / android etc), but collaboration / contribution still needs awareness. 4. The number of rock stars like Yuvi at college level who are aware of the outside world, has increased. But proportionately they are still like Wikipedia editors : Wikipedia readers. -- Regards Srikanth.L
