As sprint events to Software Freedom Day, and celebrating Software Freedom the second of the sessions in BMS Institute of Technology was organized today.
After a session on FOSS approach towards Privacy and Security in the Internet for students, a full day workshop aimed at facilitating the faculty members of Electronics and Communication Department of BMS Institute of Technology to migrate onto GNU/Linux platform with equivalent tools to most of the ubiquitous tools used in the ECE academic scene were demonstrated.
The overall response was overwhelming, and very positive. Being the ECE Department the speaker for the session Mr.Prabodh and myself was preparing to brace for a colder audience with some natural hesitation. But, on the contrary we found everyone really interested in the gamut of tools with unadaunted enthusiasm till the end of the day. Numerous tools available for the various topics to be dealt in teaching the curriculum. Through the day, interaction was highly productive with proactive queries and discussions.
There is a pressing need for the academic institutions to migrate to Free and Open Source Software knowing the entire depth of positive ramifications of the tools and the philosophy behind the tools. I am glad that my alma matter has taken this step. We at FSMK are certainly looking forward to sustained efforts to perpetuate the momentum instigated by today's sessions.
And talking specifically about Electronics related tools in the GNU/Linux domain, a special push is required to bundle these marvelous tools already available with comprehensive manuals. This way first smooth migration and prospective contributions can be hoped for.
A big shout out to all who were part of today's workshop. Cheers!
