Hi,
Yes I have something to say about the projects above. Customised Debian for engineers is a S/W project if you can make some tool which is related to engineering. Search for the LIFE archive you will see a list of some commercial tools which are not available for free. You can develop free equivalents.
Localisation is also a S/W project. The project involve display of information in local languages (Hindi/Marathi/Tamil etc..). After installing these locales. You can see the results of unix command like ls, date in hindi. for more information on this search for "indix" project on ncst home page of on google.
You can also make a software for managing ILUG-Bom website and resource repository. However a lot of tools are available for that but you can customise one of them for our purpose.
