My apologies for some miss communication. By mistake, I was informed that all lectures scheduled on 11th are cancelled because of Zest'12 festival. Therefore, I did not come to the classroom and many of you had to go back. I will do my best to avoid such error in future.
The cancelled lecture of 11th January was rescheduled to conduct on Monday, 16th January.
On 16th Jan, we discovered that majority of students attending the lecture were not present for the first lecture and hence the lecture will now be conducted on 18th Jan.

Wikipedia: Access the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ERP_software_packages. Create a new table for this page which compares the product features of each Free and Open Source ERP software packages. You can start by reviewing all the features of SAP ByD product at http://www36.sap.com/solutions/products/sap-bydesign/what-is-sap-business-bydesign/for-your-business/supply-chain.epx and then check for each Opensource product whether these features are available. Each pair of 2 students should evaluate 1 Open Source product. The end results should be tabulated in the spreadsheet at http://goo.gl/Sz6xF. You can later add this table at the wikipedia page.
