Thejesh,VTU FLOSS Campaign

[Rakesh 'Arky' Ambati]

Evening, 

Here is latest Update on VTU FLOSS Campaign, Please pass on this
information to all relevant channels.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
My name is Thejesh. I am working as a Software Engineer at Bangalore.
Passed from VTU ( Visweswraiah Technological University) Belagum as E&C
engineer.We were the first batch of the university.

Early this year I got an idea about asking VTU to include more FOSS
related courses in its syllabus. Hence I started a petition at my home
site ( www.techmag.biz <http://www.techmag.biz> ). Then we moved it to
GNU bangalore site (http://bangalore.gnu.org.in/?VTU-FLOSS_Campaign).
The petition has been edited by lot of people and it has reached a good
state now. We have got the signatures of around 140 people including
that of RMS. 

Initially I just had the plan of mailing the petition; but later I got
an idea of visiting VC personally so that it will have more effect.

VC of VTU Dr. K Balaveera Reddy has agreed to meet me on Aug 6
(Saturday) evening at VTU campus, belagum. I will be travelling on Aug 5
night ( from Bangalore). Plan as of now is to present him the hard copy
of signatures/opinions/discussion that happened on GNU Bangalore site. I
am also planning to give him a presentation. If anybody is interested to
join me along; please mail me back. Or if you think something which I
should be doing please do send it to me.
