Considering the professionals in this list, can the software industry, especially, those who provide services in the open source areas using GNU/Linux, initiate certain programmes or take some steps to be a part of the curriculum developement team of courses which provide education about software development for University of Mumbai?
I'll be happy to take this up with Mumbai University.
I agree, this is not easy and needs the consensus of both the university and the industry, but someone would have to initiate it.
Or students like me should put this request in the form of a letter to the university?
Yes. As a student, you should demand that open source is used. If both, industry and students put pressure together, things are likely to happen faster.

I do agree. Infact I was pissed of at MU for including ASP and not PHP : ( PHP is not only way better than ASP but ASP is legacy now that ASP.NET is in the market. Even the designers of ASP acknowledge its shortfalls :(
P.S.: Venky, please reply using the right to the right post. Don't hit reply to any of the emails and change the subject. It messes up threading in our email clients.
