Making floss active in CEC

[krishna Sangeeth]

Hi Folks,

Hope you are doing well. I am really sad to see floss cell is not active in our college. This is sad because now more than ever there is wide acceptance for open source software and contributors.

I recently came across amfoss[1] , a cell from Amrita which seems to be doing lots of interesting things. It is something that is helping Amrita in increasing its brand value also.

I think having an active FOSS community will help in increasing the brand value of college as well as competitiveness of the students . Since we had such an active community before, it will be worth a try IMO to do something

about it and get things moving again.

Few areas we can target

- kick start open source projects from college

- educate students on using open source software

- programming bootcamps

- gsoc , hackathons etc

- connect mentors to students for software projects ?

Let me know what you guys think.

Hey Hi,

Hope you are keeping well.

AMFOSS is brilliant thanks for sharing this!

And you are certainly right an active FOSS Community would help in increasing the brand value; am afraid the set of students we have presently in campus may not be seeing the value that you have seen.

I am afraid if we have any active members who are part of this mailing group who are presently in our campus.

All ears for this & happy to do anything in my capacity.

Regards
