The UGC Academic Staff College under the University of Kerala has included training in Free Software as a part of their courses in IT. The first such class including practicals is to be held tomorrow and the day after (May 25 and 26, 2003). Lectures on Free Software have been conducted for some time now. We thank Dr. B. Ekbal, former Vice Chancellor of the University of Kerala, for his initiative in this matter, and Dr. John Jacob Kattakkayam, Director, UGCASC, for agreeing to include FS in their training.
