Anish,
Open source is a great initiative ans philosophy that universities must adopt. However if you try in your free time to build a community : a community of students over a simple network you should learn more about How humain and brain humain’s can drive. Know that I’m part of IETF, Linux Kernel, Debian, FreeBSD and GNU. I consider also many scientist as like as : Stallman, Larry Wall, Guido Von Rossum, All mathematicians and creators of networks and languages … When you pray alone and work alone is also a great if you do so God creator will help.
