Bad news ---------------- The person whom we are going to meet is not available on saturday-------------- so we are not going to MSRIT on saturday ------------sooooory!! ---------------- Subjects are already finalized and no morechanges will be made -- a ------------------circular is already sent from VTU to all the colleges under VTU

Good News There is no restriction from VTU that the colleges have to use Proprietary Softwares --------Three years back itself a circular has sent from VTU seems that there is no restriction that some one have to use Propritary softwares ( this was done in context of purchasing Rational Rose software ) ------------- i will track the circular -- lemme c.

Good chance for us to approach many autonomous colleges where we can make them aware of free softwares and see that they are mentioned in their syllabus

I will take the responsibility of fixing appointments with the people incharge of setting up the syllabus ain different autonomous colleges and get back to you ---- I will start with our college first and get back to you all .....

If at all i can fix appointment with our college faculties i will inform you immediately

HI all

continuing from the recent minutes of the meeting http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Bangalore/GNUs_Grazing/28June2008

i request all those who are interested to be part of a discussion that will going to happen at MSRIT college , bangalore with the Head of the department ( Prof Dr T.V. Suresh Kumar ) which will further help us to take the representation to the chairman on some other day

Before going for the discussion it would be better to have a look at the different branches syllabus -- here ar the links where the syllabus is uploaded

PLEASE GO THRU And suggest the alternatives

It would be great if more developers from industry to join this discussion --- since the softwares / technologies that will be suggested as alternatives have to have some proper person who has worked on those

----------------------- Atleast few can join this saturday and later which will be main one with the chairman -- that day i request you all to take part -------------------------

IF THIS CHANGE happens IT WOULD BE A GREAT REFERNECE TO CARRY ON FOR OTHER UNIVERSITIES
