Thanks. I only felt you could have reached out to me too to listen & then made it up. Hope you will do it after this at-least or in any thing you will come across of such kind in future: listening to the other end, before rushing up to a conclusion. You can write to me & visit me at our office that in Nadanam. Wishing to meet you dude! Do refer about this program to your known circle. Say to the corporates you know to adopt such programs that will promote Open Source. Consider, some one completing B.Sc., (Maths, Physics, Chemistry) - taking up a three year option to pursue M.C.A., After three years they will end up mostly without any work experience. Then they have to get into job to gain experience. Anna Univ came with this program. And it is happening two days in a week. The rest of the days if they work inline with what they study, after two years imagine their status? But, one thing that is troubling this program is that, if there aren't enough candidates (50 of them) registering the course is dropped. I thought we should do something that we can that will be mutually beneficial. Say four companies come forward with similar programs - they can have 10 candidates each & University will have 40 students. Not only that I have said to my team that we have to do this, I also approached few more companies to come out with similar programs & they too felt it is workable. So if you are working think of it, propose it to your management & speak to some other corporates too. Take the discussion in line with topic & than spitting personal venom listening just to one end. Hope you will come forward to meet me soon. -- Amachu ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
