Every large scale change starts with awareness. <br>

I agree<div><br>

Students should be aware of their freedom to choose their own topics. <br>
</blockquote></div>
It is not only about topics, freedom in a broader sense is being lost in academics on the whole,<br>
Of course, there needs to be a starting point which is this.<div><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
If this issue gets noticed by the academic community, we can push for a circular from the university. For that to happen, this needs to be discussed throughout the community.<br>
</blockquote></div>
What I feel can be done<br>
- Create a pool of project ideas ( there are a lot of Free Software Projects on the<br>
Internet at different stages of development, we need to create a sort of legend for<br>
students ,<br>
- Create a page on the Internet that will serve as a reference to teachers,<br>
so that they are convinced of the scope of the project and how it can do good<br>
to the student, college and most important the "Community".<br>
- Once projects are completed they are uploaded to the website and also<br>
are presented and spoken of at events and Community group meetings<br>
(like ILUG Cochin), and the project will develop wings.<br>
- This will serve as an example and lesson for the other students as well<br>
and then we have a whole lot of useful software created by the students<br>
for the community.<br>
<br>
- The Web page also needs information from the normal users and business<br>
people, so that they can put in their requirements into the page so that<br>
it becomes " a self sustaining community".<br>
<br>
- Finally let us begin upon, and reiterate on what is the aim of an<br>
academic project in our society and again " the free software community".<br>
Many times students do not know what path they need to take to create<br>
something useful for the society.<br>
<br>
We need to draft an open letter to all educational institutions<br>
which states what an academic projects means to the society and how<br>
important is the freedom for students to pursue their own interests and how<br>
they can guide them to the right path.<br>
<br>
There are lot of teachers and academicians in the Mailing List. I believe<br>
we can get lot of information from them. :)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank You<br>
