I am currently pursuing my T. Y. BSc. (I. T.) and much of what I have in my curriculum is pretty much using applications that work in Windoze!
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 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?
We (BSc I. T.) have learnt about UNIX Operating system's basic commands in one of our semesters which actually inclined me towards using GNU/Linux as a mainstream OS. BSc (Computer Science) students learn a little more about the Operating System.

Start with the hod and management of your college. They will approach the right forums in Mumbai university. U sending letters to anon clerk is not going to help.

You would be wise to learn GNU/Linux well. Even if u are using windows. It is usually your last bastion after windows is finished with u. besides getting anything done is a breeze in GNU/Linux.
Could you post the current curriculum or point me to some place where it is available.
