Recently there was a meet at National Resource Center for Free/Open Source (http://nrcfoss.org.in/), AU-KBC Research Center, Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai between selected FLOSS company representatives and Anna University, Chennai academicians.
They have already provided a FLOSS elective, and work is underway for more FLOSS work in the engineering curriculum.
