Sorry to say this, i dis-agree with all your comments. Being a
mathematics faculty, i comment something below,
In our autonomous institution we include the FOSS like LaTex and
Scilab in our syllabus of PG and UG respectively. i use both for past
6 years. i take the effort to teach both for the staff members who are
interested, by doing Workshops for past two years in our campus and
out of campus. i get good responds like number of participants,
encouraging words, other state participants etc... the feed back of
the participants is that "there is no such workshops to learn LaTeX".
For you information more than 16 participants in and around chennai
were participated in last workshop "advanced workshop on Latex" during
1-3 dec, 2011 in tiruchengode. Also, i give special lectures on LaTeX
in various institutions. In every institution i get good responds.
From my experience, i felt that in any educational institution thereare some good and bad students as well as staff members. Even they
shall we ask that the college staff should join the training.
they should join with us on training other colleges.
