[FSUG-Bangalore] free software - slum computer centre

[Senthil Sundaram (sensunda)]

Hi ,
 
Sorry if it soudned so. Will like to take it back.
 
However let me explain what i meant.
 
because of systemic issues - the children hardly get into engineering
and technology education.
 
most of them drop out during their 10+2.
 
some folks become accountants or join b.com evening college ( this is
what the bright kids who some how cross through all hurdles
maybe 10% of the lot)
 
so if some one can train them on tally or someone get a certification
from know software company - closed or open - will help them get jobs...
 
something like mutlimedia design which can leverage on current skills -
where folks can get jobs independent of degree bckground etc.
 
in fact we want some one to look at free software oppurtuities - which
have viability in the market..will be happy if we can get any help
 
 
regards
senthil

Why the name Slum Needs? Sounds very discriminating.
