Am not sure whether you guys already know about this, but as I was at
the place who did this I thought of pointing these to you..

[1] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/wiki/FossElectivesSyllabus
[2] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/wiki/FossElectiveoneBook
[3] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/wiki/FossElectiveTwoBook

Well, I don't mean to propose the same as a lot of things in the
syllabus [1] were indeed felt to be too heavy or over loaded for
starters but Anna University has been quite successful in implementing
the FOSS Elective and there is quite a good track record of performances
in this elective. We can review it and modify it according to what we
feel would be appropriate and need-of-the-hour.
