No, for the former we don't need the latter as necessary condition. > # Promotion of FOSS only software in syllabus from primary to higher > education
This means establishing rapport with Board of Studies for FOSS syllabus creation at university level as well as working with with the Government bodies like AICTE, UGC and ministries(both central and state) > # Encouragement for student commitment and contribution to FOSS This can better happen if students learn FOSS in syllabus. It is not necessary that students follow what the syllabus has taught them, e.g. they may opt for dot net and other avenues, in that case, we need to establish rapport with student community (which is nothing but budding professional community) separately. The problem is that we see both these things as one. I have worked in both. I have changed UPTU B.Tech. final year CS and IT labs to 100% FOSS in 2007 and for last two years I have been working with student community to better adopt FOSS based career avenues.
