Project Report Project Management The project is being handled by the UDUNet FOSS LAB, a lab setup to widen use of FOSS & Linux in UDUS, with the support of Nigerian North-west FOSS Zonal coordinator (Mall. N.S. Zarummai). Ongoing Project o UDL Projects (using FOSS tolls) – 70% compiled. o Module (using FOSS tolls) – 80% compiled. o Hostel Accommodation on line (using FOSS tolls)- 95% compiled. o Student Registration on line (using FOSS tolls) - o and many more others. The Future of the Project We are very enthusiastic and optimistic about the future of the project. The positive response we have received from the management and the students has encouraged us to continue our work, and to increase the effort we put into it. We would in the future like to see this project developed to having a volunteer visiting the LAB on regular intervals to support the students in further development of Open Source awareness. The project will be of great advantage to the University and the community as the use of FOSS is saving a lot of money on the porches of software. Giving the community an awareness of alternatives that they would otherwise never have received is a very important part of this project. This awareness is necessary to develop a future generation for the challenges that they have to meet.
