So sorry to top post. I am writing from my Android phone and I dont find a way to write at the end or to delete unnecessary text.
Good work, Praveen. Not being a developer, I am unable to contribute significantly here. But I hope developers here will contribute to the wiki and build a good database of project ideas for students. Also, as Praveen rightly suggests, mentor students from some college(s). Hope that we will soon be seeing several student projects in Free Software flowering in our colleges. Thanks and good luck, Sasi -----Original message----- From: Praveen A <prav...@gmail.com> To: lug tvm <ilug-tvm@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wed, 31 Oct 2012, 10:14:40 GMT+00:00 Subject: Re: [fsug-tvm] Wikipedia app for Android 2012/10/31 V.

What do you all think? > > Best, > Sasi a wiki page would be a good start, I tried to collect some ideas earlier http://www.fosscommunity.in/wiki/Projects/TaskList We can use that to collect more. Also it would be good to have every one in the community regularly interacting with students of at least one engineering college. I regularly interact with students of MES Kuttippuram, NSS Palakkad and COEP Pune. We should start Free Software communities in more campuses and also make sure existing communities are passed on to the next batch before the current active batch leaves (misses this step most of the time). If there is students from colleges other than the colleges listed there, reply here and we can find some one to mentor your community. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- "Freedom is the only law".
