FOSS: Free and Open Source Software

I Commercial software is expensive

I Heavy penalties if unauthorisedsoftware is used by industry

I Story from ItalyI Embedded systems, HLL, WIPRO

I Our SME’s don’t use ANY software:

I commercial software is expensiveI they are not aware of open source

Why FOSS?

I It is free of cost

I It is affordable to industry

I It allows learners to become betterprogrammers (like auto mechanics)

I It allows good learning - side-by-sidemethod is not possible otherwise

I Use proprietary software only whenabsolutely necessary

Why FOSS?

Problems with open sourcesoftware

I Good documents are missing

I Lack of support

Testimonials

President’s Award to our Promoter

I am glad to inform you that I have received theprestigious NATIONAL ICT AWARD 2015 from theHonble President of India at Vigyan Bhawan NewDelhi on 5th Sept 2016 (Teachers’ Day). The awardwas bestowed due to my work in the field of ”ICT inEducation using FOSS” in association with CIET,NCERT, New Delhi and Spoken Tutorial Project,IIT Bombay.

Testimonial from a Principal

More than 70 of the 88 placed students feel thatthis Spoken Tutorial training helped them to bewell-equipped for the Tata Consultancy Services(TCS) campus recruitment. So we are planning onencouraging all our students to be a part of thisproject ...

PHP from HoD of MCA Dept.Recently, I came across one company whichwanted students with sound knowledge inPHP MySQL.As our MCA syllabus does not cover PHPMySQL, I decided to train my studentsusing Spoken tutorial. More than 30students took up the course, and in a veryshort time, I could train my students.This helped place six students, by trainingthem to meet the company requirement,without incurring any cost.

PHP from HoD of MCA Dept. -Ctd.

The Spoken Tutorial courses are effectivelydesigned to train a novice user, without thesupport of a physical teacher, and havetaken care of all possible questions thatmay arise during a course.

Linux from a B.Sc Graduate I

I am very glad to inform you that I got anopportunity to speak about my experiencewith IIT Bombay for working on a project(Spoken Tutorials).This exposure seemed to be one of thereason for getting selected in TCS, whichvarious engineers and other graduateswould love to. The amazing certificatesand having leadership qualities for

Linux from a B.Sc Graduate II

organizing several workshops during mycollege days brought in me the confidenceto undertake any task.I have got into TCS as a Linux developer.The first time I learned about Linux is whenI conducted as well as undertook a test onLinux which was organized by IIT Bombay.
