You can choose your own choice. The final outcome is need to complete the application. Definitely the External wont oppose the work done by the student differently. unless your HOD and staff didnt tell anything bad about you. At the same time being final year student, dont have any quarrel with the faculty and HOD, politely you can tell him the features of Open source. Quote some of the colleges those who are really working on Open Source. Try to convince them. If they are backing you definitely there will not be any problem. For this issue and all the NRCFOSS and the Univerity wont help as of now. The problem to be sort out in the college itself. Still most of the colleges not having much awareness on open source. The faculty members are not minding to learn new things. ILUGC and NRCFOSS are putting lots and lots of effort to take the open source in the academic level. Without institution co-operation its very difficult to initiate. If the management knows the cost factor definitely they suggest to go for Open source tools. The management need some sort of IT advisors to suggest open source otherwise the management doesnt know the happenings. As ILUGC member we are very happy to see the student doing their practical work in RoR. You can spread the spirit to your classmets and juniors. We are also using Umbrello, Python and MySQL for application development lab (CASE Tools Lab) for VII sem B.E(CSE) and V sem B.Tech(IT). We are very comfortable with this. Students also learning interestingly. -- மா. குமரன் kumaran...@gmail.com 94442 46644 "Only those who constantly retool themselves stand a chance of staying employed in the years ahead." _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
