Not all the lecturer may know about FOSS and stuff. but they should not think that students are trying to cheat them with project which they don't know to evaluate. My lecturers encouraged me. but the external lecturer doubted me. I made a boot loader which looks like grub and my friend made LTSP. The external doubted that both the projects are looking same. since I also used floppy disk to load my boot loader. The claim was "You both put the floppy and computer boots in Linux whats the difference?". The time given for explanation was not enough for us to explain the difference anyway i managed finally. so the students have to show their interest and their activeness to promote FOSS in their respective college, in their beginning semester, at least HODs and lecturers will know your interest first and will be supportive in these kind of situations.
