However, to actually get a momentum, we need to establish knowledge pockets, on advanced technicalities like Building a Linux Distro from source, knowledge on compiling methods, linux programming etc. 2. We can evolve a list of basic skills needed for the students, and volunteer to teach them at some selected colleges. Once a team is formed, then those students should volunteer to teach their juniors and other college students. This will create innumerable opportunities and would unleash the creativity of young minds. Imagine, if atleast few in each college knows how to build a linux distro, we would have atleast a dozen customized distro in india. -- I am sorry if i am too impractical. But i just shared some of my vision with you all. Regards, Senthil This is not impractical, it just needs coordinated effort from us. We can organise a set of teams, each of which handles a different domain like kernel development, web development, packaging etc. But how do we do this and how to go and let people know about this needs some more discussion. That was a good work Senthil. cheers Santosh ___ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe " in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
