Agree with Pawan, With respect to support, no one can prepare everything in advance and that wait/welcome the users (government) to the FOSS world. In case of Nepal, else with every other case, the government is one of the biggest technology consumer and the driving force for any new technology and innovation. It would be quite a situation to expect that everything gets ready and placed in place even before the demand is there for such people to provide support. Infact, sufficient human resources cannot be prepared without the sustainable business model. Even if they are prepared with the skills and they don't get the opportunity to expedite thes skills, will be of more demotivating. Hence the market will follow and create skilled human resources once there is a demand.
