Hi ,
Sorry if it soudned so. Will like to take it
back.
However let me explain what i meant.
because of systemic issues - the children hardly get into
engineering and technology education.
most of them drop out during their
10+2.
some folks become accountants or join b.com evening college
( this is what the bright kids who some how cross through all
hurdles
maybe 10% of the lot)
so if some one can train them on tally or someone get a
certification from know software company - closed or open - will help them get
jobs...
something like mutlimedia design which can leverage on
current skills - where folks can get jobs independent of degree bckground
etc.
in fact we want some one to look at free software
oppurtuities - which have viability in the market..will be happy if we can get
any help
regards
senthil
Why the name Slum Needs? Sounds very discriminating.

we
are upto something in
blr.
its part time activity and in the initial
stages..however we are
passionate about it and hope it will workout
well..
your participation and comments on what we should be doing
will be useful.
the challenges for folks in the foss community is at multiple
levels
a) creating
curriculum - which is community owned
b)
designing coures - specific to the slum needs - getting students
certifications - which
helps them
get jobs.
