I would love to collaborate on following points: 2. FOSS Awareness / College Communities 7. Tie-up with Colleges and Organisations 9. Research Collaboration with University 10. Synergy between Academia and FOSS Communities 11. University ties or students.
All of the above mentioned points talk about collaboration with College Communities, University Administration and Research Wings. I believe contributions I've done together with Kathmandu University Open Source Community will help in dedicating some efforts for above issues. I will soon meet with Bal Krishna Bal Sir and share my rough plans. We can discuss these points along with the KUOSC community contributors. Then we will come up with a short listed action plans and propose it to FOSSians from FOSS Nepal. Regards. Sanjog On Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 12:47:31 PM UTC+5:45, nootan.ghimire wrote: > > *C.
