In a major move, the B.Sc. Computer Science Dept. of CU has introduced Python, PHP, GNU/Linux administration into the syllabus. References to M$ and its office applications in the Computer Fundamentals paper were replaced by OOo.
There is also a shift from Turbo-C to GCC and friends.
Topics related to Free software and open standards have been introduced into the IT paper of BBM.
The Free Software based 'Moodle' - a learning management system(LMS) is being implemented as a policy throughout the University in a phased manner.
Debian GNU/Linux is being installed in at least one system per department on a trial basis and both teaching and support staff are being trained.
The creation of a Free Software Group is being planned as part of the CS Dept. academic activities. FS based projects will be given to the students for imlementation.
These changes come after more than a year's efforts in convincing and training the staff and students on Free Software.
