For those who want to pursue master's education, and know about FOSS or
would like to dig deeper in this world, I would recommend this program.
IMHO there is no point doing a M.Tech. or any such other program, if you
know/love to live FOSSy life, as most of the time is spent, in finding
alternatives to non-FOSS stuff, normally taught in most of the these
courses ( something which happened with me, after I came to know about
FOSS, in 2nd year of my B.Tech. )

I am also a student of Batch 2, so if some one has some queries (if
there's something you can't find on [1]), can start a new thread, I will
be happy to share my experiences!

I am also doing it, recently gave a talk at #JDevDay, Jamia Millia
Islamia University, Delhi.

If there is any event (in Delhi/NCR), where you would like me to share
about the program, just mail me.

Or you can always spread the word about it and use this presentation[2].
I have tried to explain about the program by telling the 4 Freedom this
program gives!

We also have an unofficial mailing list[3].

PS: Anything related to FOSS, and obviously this program incomplete
without the inputs from the community, so please be a part of this
program, in whichever way you can, as a student, faculty, recruiter, see
[4] for more!
