+{\bf What is FOSSEE?}
+
+\vspace{-.1in}
+
+{\bf FOSSEE} stands for \emph{Free and Open source Software in Science
+  \& Engineering Education}. The goal of this project is to enable the
+teachers and students of Science and Engineering in India to use open
+source software tools for all their computational needs, thereby
+improving the quality of instruction and learning.
+
+
+{\bf Where are we?}
+
+\vspace{-.1in}
+The project is based at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay
+({\bf IIT-B}).  We are focusing on Scilab and Python in the area of
+Scientific Computation.
+
+
+{\bf Who funds us?}
+
+\vspace{-.1in} 
+
+It is funded by the {\bf MHRD} as a part of the \emph{National
+  Mission on Education through Information and Communication
+  Technology} ({\bf NME-ICT}), with the thrust area being `Adaptation and
+deployment of open source simulation packages equivalent to MATLAB,
+ORCAD etc.'
+
+{\bf What do we do?}
+\begin{list2}
+\item Design courses to teach the use of FOSS tools.
+\item Create content for these courses ---  written material,
+  spoken tutorials, lectures. 
+\item Conduct workshops to spread the adoption of these tools
+\item Conduct conferences to popularize these tools in India
+\item Organize sprints to generate relevant material 
+\end{list2}
+
+{\bf What can we do for you?}
+\begin{list2}
+\item Conduct a workshop in your college
+\item Send you customized GNU/Linux distributions with all the tools
+  installed  
+\item Send you written and audio/visual material
