some more questions again.
Sorry for troubling you much.
1. How many of the staff of colleges know the following things?
kernel compiling
virtualisation
package management
writing userspace drivers using fuse
GUI programming
Version Control System
Text processing with Perl
Running PHP/Python
I dont know why my son and his friends are laughing after
seeing the syllabus.
2. Do NRCFOSS staff goto each college and setup FOSS LAB Server?
or guide them remotely?
3. How the colleges are going to get support for setting up the LAB?
4. It may take some time for NRCFOSS to prepare and study materials.
Eventhough college staff get some PDF files,
is it possible for them to teach those things to students practically?
5. Is there any FDP programme arranged for the Teaching staff in all colleges?
6. Is there any progress to make FOSS as essential theory paper?
7. Why they removed it from elective?
8. Why the syllabus has so many commercial products to learn?
The commercial products are.

I have to think on selling my house,
if my son wants those software -
Sir, Let me assure you that your house is absolutely not at risk because
a PDF file mentions these. Colleges themselves make sure they have a
'few' software - to ensure their inspection from their certifying
authority goes on well. One fine day I walked into my computer lab in my
college to find "Visual Tools Lab" and "Operating Systems Lab" boards
setup on top of a row of 8 computers per board.
And there was one Red Hat Machine setup which was called Linux Server
which students were not allowed to touch as touch would disrupt the
telnet connections from other machines in the lab would get
'disconnected'. That the LAN cable was in a bad shape dint matter.
And I am also sure that a lot of staff members will be wondering how to
handle this "situation" - they will consider asking their friends (staff
in neighbouring colleges) to loan some programs for the trainee
typists(i.e lab students) to practice.
Couldn't help this rant. going by usual standards in the college i have
seen, this lab syllabus looks pretty ambitious and I pray that this does
not become another joke in the name of labwork as is usually the case.
Visual Paradigm, Visual case, and Rational Suite
Turbo C
Visual C++ with OPENGL
Any 3D animation software like 3DSMAX, Maya
VC++,C# and .NET
9. You can say that there are free software also mentioned like
Eclipse, AgroUML, Blender.
What to do if the colleges are not using any free software?
What to do if the colleges insist students to use only commercial
software that they use/know.?
If they do so, where to report it?
Sorry for the multiple questions and troubles.
Really, it may happen to pay much if my son ask those software
if the college asks him to use only commercial software.
I dont want to loss our house just to buy software.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Victor
