Agree and why makes you think you are alone :-) Agenda is very simple > > - Having a College/School level OSDG (developer group) who do coding, > design and development of software and software related to > product/projects. Can be extended to Open Hardware too. > This has worked well at least in three colleges/university in NCR region i know of , again what's in a Name , no matter what we call if there are not enough individuals who are there to drive it will not work any which way . > My main point is, the very notion LUG or Linux advocacy do not belongs to > us. We are technical guys/gals meant to do design and develop stuff. > technical skills, that is what every company is looking for. notion of > promoting Linux and Installing it to fellow classmates will derail evergy > of student. Its is good to have RMS type people and they exist and they are > sufficient. > Well i still see they have there own place and will continue to have , if we choose not to pursue it is our personal decision which we all respect . > So, basically I was telling about - group of hacker who do > code/share/learn in open source way. I installed Linux on my brother's > system, He never asked his classmates to do so. All he was working on > skills and projects. He learned Java/JavaScript. By this process 1-2 other > classmates finally "inspired" to install Linux. > > >> >> 1. are we ready coding in schools/colleges ? >> > > Yes, If not, they will not get good job. > We will be running a program[1] in this direction from 25th-29th May , do contribute your thoughts about it . > 2. are we organized enough to do the above, >> > > Yes, all we need to convert LUG to Developer group. we already have > sufficient students/lugs who can do this. It need not be a central > phenomenon. Somebody's else LUG inspired us , we inspired other lug. In > same way Developer groups will inspire other developer group. > > instead of talking about open office, they will talking about unzipping > and parsing .odp files. > instead of talking about Firefox, they will be developing extensions or > android app. > I see there are lots of user groups doing this already , so no love lost . > that culture will really benefit Bharat to become great. > > Infact I proposed having a github account for colleges/student. where > student can host their college project or hackathon projects. > On an individual basis many do these days . its an acquired trait which is good . There are two projects which come to my mind who have done a good job at it openhatch.org http://www.nitdgplug.org/ Govt of India[2] is going to open a repo of its own , where i see opportunities to contribute . i discovered i have been following this rule[3] instinctively and focusing on creating more of this this 1% kind of people .
