Create a Facebook page against Proprietary S/w in academia or in general and there we can discuss these issues and tell people related to education about this spread more awareness and stuff, and then promote this page by liking it. 2. Create a promotion on Orkut again telling/linking to various resources like http://windows7sins.org, it is a very nice way to advertise things because. this will help create awareness among people but what about our government we can file RTI + dharna is the only option this is the traditional way our govt. listens to its people if it ever does. PS: Not so recently, a SAP guy came to my college and told us that NTPC has invested over 700 crores in SAP ERP and after that Indian Railways is also on the same track and I just don't know how much they going to spend for Railways project which is a really huge network just see how they are wasting tax payers money, our money! -- Parin Sharma http://twitter.com/FOSSmaniac Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
