Pythonizing the Indian Engineering Education
The document outlines the work of FOSSEE (Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education) in promoting open source software and Python in Indian engineering education. It discusses FOSSEE's SDES course, Spoken Tutorials project, Textbook Companion project, and efforts to build a Python community through events. FOSSEE works with academics to introduce open source tools into curriculums and create self-learning resources to improve access and quality of education.
