Yes, it is really pleasing to hear that there are FOSS enthusiasts who are keen at localization and other such development projects. FOSS Nepal is obviously a viable platform. We are now at the verge of restructuring and documenting the activities and events at the community. Very soon after that we're in a plan for OSDL (Open Source Development Lab). The recently launched Research & Training Centre at BVS, Naxal aids to that. I'm quite optimistic about these advancements going on at FOSS Nepal and hope that we will be incorporation different activities and people under the umbrella of the community. So I would like to request everyone to gear up with these preliminary activites, so that we can start off with a stable base and delve down into development and localization.
