As a student what can we do in this regard? ... Most students of my Univ,
(University of Calcutta) are not interested in Linux, because of
unfamiliarity with the system. Most of them do all their project work in
Visual Studio, as that is really easy.
What can we do about that? ... any suggestions?
I personally feel that educating the students through conferences and
meetings can be a good start. We can even approach the HoD with requests for
hands-on sessions, where development in Fedora will be taught.
What do u say guys?

Quite by chance this was the same topic that I broached to Spot yesterday
afternoon. And it turns out that a good place to push these potential
contributors would be towards doing "Fedora QE" starting up with learning
how to triage, process and work the bug queue and additionally coming up
with Test Cases.
