Currently doing FOSS work in D. E. Shaw Group, Hyderabad. 2. Shridhar Ratna. Anna University, Chennai. Been working in Bangalore for quite some time. Don't remember the company name. http://nearfar.org/ . 3. My good friends from Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering, Mysore, Karnataka - Anand Avati, Vikaus Gaur, Harshavardhana et. al. who work at http://www.zresearch.com/. 4. Senthil Kumaran. Thyagarja College of Engineering, Madurai. Currently working at SpikeSource, Bangalore. 5. Deepan Chakravathy. Bioinformatics, Anna University. Currently working for NovaGlobal Pte Ltd., Singapore. Yeah, FOSS in Bioinformatics. 6. Srikanth. SSN College of Engineering, Chennai. Will be working as a PHP web developer for a company in Chennai. Don't remember the company name. 7. Vijay Anand. Kongu Engineering College, Erode. Working on GNU/Linux networking at FatPipe Networks in Chennai. 8. Bharat Shetty. Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering, Mysore, Karnataka. Working for IBM, Bangalore. There are still lots of students from the colleges mentioned and others, that I have been to. When you meet about 200 students week in and week out, it is quite difficult to remember all the names, and what they are doing. The above names came to my mind as I have worked with them in organizing events, and interacted with them a lot. I apologise to other students who are working with FOSS in the industry, whose names I just don't remember. > Me neither. I prefer to wait for people In this industry, you have to drive to take the lead. If you slip up, it is very difficult to catch up. The industry is very fast-paced. Already, so-called engineering students are wasting four years of their time. > I am taking C/C++. Who wants to sit and when? :) Good luck.
