- # Benefits for Students
-
- ## Hands-on Experience
-
- Students will gain complete hands-on experience on the tools that are regularly
- used in industry and the FOSS community. Pro-actively building skills in such
- tools will make it possible for them to contribute to FOSS and also pitch for
- systems design and administration, research and software development
- opportunities professionally.
-
- ## Awareness and Skills
-
- Awareness of methods and practices used in industry or FOSS community: It is
- not just tools that are essential – awareness and experience with established
- and ad-hoc methods and practices will enable students to fit in easily and
- quickly into global communities and participate effectively.
-
- ## Opportunity to learn and experiment safely
-
- Opportunity to experiment and learn safely without affecting the production
- deployment of services in the lab. Students should not just be users and
- consumers of technology. By demonstrating the fact that such infrastructure can
- be built effectively and affordably by choosing Self Hosting and Free Software,
- we can enable them to also attempt to do the same and learn and build so much
- more.
