Dear Friends,
I am happy to see FOSS Nepal. I would like to encourage to get touch
with the SAARC regional FOSS and get interact with their activities and
share their struggles. I am here with FOSS Bangalore guys and they are
doing great work. The largest FOSS event here in India is schedule for
November 24-26, 2006. Please check http://foss.in/2006/. Be there !
Recently, I was in Kochi, Kerala and also RMS was here in Trivandrum to
promote FOSS in school level. I found here in Kerala, nearly 1.5
million students in the 2,650 government and government-aided high
schools in the state will now no longer using the Windows platform for
computer education. As state government has declared publicly. Instead,
they have switched over to the free GNU/Linux software. Isn't this
something a good lesson for every nation. Here, Estimated 56,000
teachers in high schools are getting trained on the Linux platform. And
Many hundreds of kerala's linux professional are ready to go through
easy training modules.
As we are aware of the fact that every school and colleges in Nepal
use proprietary software to teach. This makes them dependent on a
particular company. And that is not good for society as a whole. So,
the schools should not do it.
Finally, Please ask each and every single school and colleges to order
Free copy of
Ubuntu Linux CD now ( https://shipit.ubuntu.com/myrequest). Mark
Shuttleworth has done such a great work. He has not only invested his
million of dollars in Ubuntu project but also started a outstanding
FOSS campaign. We have to thanks him.
Warm Regards,
Sarose Joshi
