First, its great to hear the news. I wish I had this kind of support last year when I was in final year..:(
We have 2 semesters. > We can use 1 semester for training and the next for project development. > Students will be available from 3.30 - 5.30 pm daily. > > We have to plan for the following things. > > 1. Trainers who can goto college in person to train the students > 2. List of open source projects to contribute > 3. Mentors for the students > If their availability can be guaranteed with internet connection, I think it would be a good idea to create a dedicated IRC channel for initial training periods. I have been seeing IITMHackers club organizing tutorial sessions purely on IRC for things like VIM, Python ..etc. It also introduces them to IRC channels which hosts highly technical discussions related to OpenSource technologies. > We need a huge list of project as all the students have to do individual > projects. > While individual projects can really help in improving a student's capabilities and knowledge, I still feel a team of two can be permissible (just an optional one), so that they can discuss and work better on the projects. > We need more persons to participate in the huge project of turning students > into contributors. > > I am still a student by lot, and would be grateful to assist the Mentors in any way possible. So kindly count me in, as a intermediate person. -- Regards P.Arunmozhi Twitter: @tecoholic Website: http://arunmozhi.in _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
