OpenSolaris
When I was reading Mr.jonathan blog, I found this link..Visiting that link i got this picture in the homepage of that site...i was thrilled when i saw the TAMIL word in that list..(based on the country IP address that language list image may change or not..i don't know about that logic..but still its a nice image to see a tamil word in that language list..)
"The number of languages listed for India is 428. Of those, 415 are living languages and 13 are extinct." - reference
Not only the image, the content what that page contains also very interesting..checkout that..

I know what you are doing in this summer
If you discuss OPENSOURCE topics with any college student, surely he can't understand the proper meaning of that word. But if u say FREEWARE means they will understand bit
For college students, this is the time to learn more about opensource projects.But who will introduce this to that students?(atleast for final year guys).But google has come up with beautiful concept called "the Summer of Code"
Form Google
"we’ll give $4,500 to applicants who successfully work with a sponsoring organization or advisor to create innovative or useful open source software.We’ll also get you a t-shirt to go along with the cash."
and also checkout the interesting debate in the slashdot site..
When i am speaking about students here, this essay also worth to look into. This essay talks about wide range of topics. In my experience(!), what this article says is absolutely right.
This essay mainly focused on students..but i don't know howmany students(or professors) have got a chance to visit that page....what i feel is, this article not only for students..this will also applicable to bachelors ...
Read between the lines or take this page printout and read this everyday when u getup from the bed if you want to do something big in the coming future.
Hiring is obsolete
