Yes! this is very much necessary. Being Engineers, we should make sure
people are more closer to freedom and source code than just using software
by clicking on 'I Accept' and 'Done' button.

Last year I attended 'Tuxedo-07' at SJCE -Mysore, I came to know that, the
Electrical Branch there has all its branch converted to use GNU/Linux, (and
its HOD has contributed to slackware project too). Sadly CS, EC, and IS
branches were all lagging behind in migrating to GNU/Linux.

Sadly I can't attend this meet as I am not in the city now, but glad to hear
about the plans/steps taken towards the same.

Regards,
Amar
