Parin, Mohit: I prefer do differ on your point of view for NIC and other government agencies that they are not for FOSS & are only wasting tax-payers money by using M$ and other closed stuffs. I myself work with NIC at the HQ, Delhi and trust me, we have got 60% of the application and infrastructures being developed and implemented on FOSS solutions. The rest are either being migrated to FOSS environment or are phased out. And even the Gov. of India has issued a notification for using FOSS platform and technologies for maximum places until unless its not necessary. Regarding the people who you listened while the conference, I'm sure they know about FOSS but are just not aware enough coz they ain't into development & implementation. Believe me guys the government people are as much aware of FOSS and Open Source as we are and the real people who work behind the scene are very much interested to learn and implement FOSS & Open Source. Even AMUL itself is considered the best of all. :-) CHEERS -- Saras Tripathi aka TechnoBrat IRC: [email protected] Twitter: @brattechno -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
