Awareness takes a little time, and the best participants in these things start off shy - if you can find a way to make them open you this thing will be successful.

I distributed the links to some of the most prolific bloggers of Pakistan (mostly related to IT/Software). There was 0 feedback via blog. 1 email came with some suggestions (posted on blog). Greenwhite sent a LOT of traffic through, but no one contributed. anyways, the blog continues as means of interaction with the students (as opposed to using an in house CMS system or yahoo groups) Farzal here –

The IB system of education is somewhat based on the concept of "Open-Source Education" and it's gaining a lot of popularity.

I think its a very interesting idea where students can learn from live examples like shophive.com and the companies getting important feedback to enhance their systems and services. Best of luck! Farzal,

If the effort is successful, then it can be easily spanned to other courses and institutes. 2-I’ve left my day (and night) job at PixSense and now looking for inspirations and (consulting) work Osama, thanks for the coverage.

As far as i know, LUMS is having already such collaboration for nurturing technoprenuers. This is definately a great stuff for Pakistan. However, not sure if people with right capabilities are teaching such courses. Mentor / Teacher should have acedemia as well as enterprenuership experience, a rare combination to find.
