In a major move, the B.Sc. Computer Science Dept. of CU has introduced
Python, PHP, GNU/Linux administration into the syllabus. References to
M$ and its office applications in the Computer Fundamentals paper were
replaced by OOo.
There is also a shift from Turbo-C to GCC and friends.
Topics related to Free software and open standards have been introduced
into the IT paper of BBM.
The Free Software based 'Moodle' - a learning management system(LMS)
is being implemented as a policy throughout the University in a phased
manner.
Debian GNU/Linux is being installed in at least one system per
department on
a trial basis and both teaching and support staff are being trained.
The creation of a Free Software Group is being planned as part of the CS
Dept. academic activities. FS based projects will be given to the
students for
imlementation.
These changes come after more than a year's efforts in convincing and
training the staff and students on Free Software.

The Kannada Localization project and Tech volunteers group from
sampada.net community (http://tech.sampada.net) is happy to announce
Debian Chiguru distribution CD release.
The team released this CD on 7th February, 2009 during the GNU/Linux
Habba version 3 celebrated at NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte. This
distribution has add-ons for Kannadigas to read, write and work with
Kannada on their computer.
Chiguru is based on Debian Lenny. The distribution is to focus on
providing an improved distribution for Kannada users in particular, and
Indian language users in general. This release can be used either as a
live CD, or as an installer CD. GUI installer is available.
We have long term goals to develop this distribution to meet specific
computing requirements for Kannada users and Karnataka. We encourage
users to download, install/run Chiguru and send feedback to the
community. This would help us improve it, evolve it into a much useful
packaged distribution.
Visit Gnu/Linux habba official website: http://habba.in
For support requests or to get in touch with the Technical team, write
to us: tech-volunteers at sampada.net
Cheers,
Omshivaprakash, Release coordinator

Did you know? You can CHAT without downloading messenger. Go to http://in.webmessenger.yahoo.com/
I'm very interested to understand more on the topic "women and free software
in India"
As I could 'perceive' being in some events in India, the situation is a little
bit terrible.
Women absolutely separated not to say 'segregated'
This gave me the impression that not being talking to a group of activists for
freedom since women was outside.
Was that just my perception and impression?

Document Freedom Day is on the 25thof March.
Plenty of teams will be taking part in the event
(I am coordinating the Kolkata team IlugCalinfo )
Is it possible for somebody to make a custom spin including:
1. Mainly destop oriented packages (updated to stable Fedora10)
2. All Open Office stuff with good collection of templates, Dictonaries
3. Scribus, GIMP, Koffice, Gnumeric, Docbook, Lua, Quanta etc (latest stable)
4. TexLive and IDEs
5. Lots of Advocacy related documentation + Whitepapers, Technical
reports, Tutorials etc (for DF-Day): (I can help)
6. Documentation
More (please suggest)
(a non official spin can be considered for some locales ... for
rpmfusion things)
I think many teams would be able to make copies and do lot more.
Best

For years, Microsoft has insisted that open-source vendors acknowledge
that its patent portfolio is a precursor to interoperability
discussions. On Monday, Microsoft shed that charade and announced an
interoperability alliance with Red Hat for virtualization.
