hi trevor, I m a student..so not an expert in anything..m into learning phase. i joined the linux group a week back and relatively new to linux. I could be helpful in foll way

1. Spread the news of Project resource Center to

talented students. In fact when i was doing my PGDST at NCST juhu 2001 , we were interested to work on real stuff rather then doing dummy projects of PGDST.But we had no direction and so couldnt go the GNU way!

[snip] yep vishal......therz alwayz thingz that we feel should hav been done a long time ago.....but i guess itz time we get this ball rollin.

In terms of spreadin the news, ia agree with u. U could definitely do that. But in additional to that, there could be a multitude of wayz u would be able to nurture this project.

As of now...we r in the process of

--> Gettin a whole list of guide lines together..........

--> forming a working committee who can foster this particlar innovative spirit in the young minds

--> LIST ALL POSSIBLE PROJECTS that can b done......by studentz.

--> List out Luggers who can help out in any way towards this initiative of fostering Development on the Gnu perspective.

The idea is institutions like NCST,VJTI attracts good students who work on dummy educational projects. I guess this is true for IITs ,RECTs as well. So heres an opportunity!

[snip] sounds like a genuine concern.....;)

Get work from industry at low price and get it done freely by students.

[snip] win-win situation for all. It sounds to simple.......but gettin the ground work ddone is gonna take more than just mails flying between all of us. It;ll need some real dedication of time......nd i am gonna make an example by doing it 1st.....since out here it alwayz has been the philosophy that......thou who proposes ................thou will dispose............lol...;) Proove me wrong luggers....;)

The low price be offered to the person who uses his knowledge and guides the students. so every project will have mentor,guide etc and he will get that low price for his time invested in such activity. At the end of the day =========================== Students get to learn on real projects mentor get paid for his time Companies get work done at low price ===========================

[snip] the MENTOR will not get PAID for his time pal....this is a voluntary initiative. As Dr. Nag sayz.......the LUG spirit is to be imbibed in all. And so b it. We r nyway makin $$$ with our consultancy/day jobs.
