15-Day Industry Oriented Summer School

The Free Software Movement (AP) is organizing a 15-day Industry Oriented summer school, a training camp where a student can learn not just the various technologies used in the Industry but can also understand the various dynamics of the IT Industry.

Technology Sessions: The programme includes detailed sessions on variety of topics ranging from 'setting up a GNU/Linux Operating system' to 'Professional Programming' to 'Server Administration'. Apart from these, there will also be “Hands-on” sessions in laboratories for the technologies where the student can get a practical understanding of using the technology. These practical sessions will be well-facilitated.

Project: Editorial Workflow

Brief description: In a typical newspaper, news comes in from various geographically distributed divisions and each news item has it's own importance. In order that a news article gets printed in a newspaper the new item has to flow through different levels of hierarchy, right from the lowest point in a branch office to the highest point (editor/sub-editor) in the head office. In this journey, each item has to be categorised according to it's importance before finally reaching the layout artist who will then design the page according to the the priority of the item. This project will provide the entire workflow for the life cycle of a news item from beginning to end. This project will also take care of storage and archival of the news items.Different people with various levels of permissions work on a single news item and project will encompass the user management to satisfy this requirement.
