Hi all,
I met Viju, our contact in St. Joseph yesterday(Friday). The college is reopening on June 16th. Lecturers and students will be preoccupied on the first week. Viju will arrange for a meeting on the second week. This meeting will involve the HOD and professors of computer department. We will discuss Free Software awareness program with them first and then take it forward to the students with their help.
Viju says that he had already talked to the management and HOD. They have showed positive response to this idea. So, it shouldn't be very hard to build a chapter their in St.Joseph.
Viju also mentioned about the software required for their library. Is there any library management system licensed under GPL. If there is one, we will suggest and get them working in their library. If not, we can have the students of St. Joseph themselves develop this library and get them contribute this software to the community.
I will keep you posted as it moves forward.
Thanks Balaji
