I can think about end users only.Govt is the decision maker and enforcer. Could it be very wrong, if somebody says Govt asked a group of people, and they made this mistake of instructing govt to use the specific distro in administrative wings? Consider the frequency of breakdowns as evident in this mailing list itself. Some end users are not comfortable with current framework to support FLOSS. What would be the recommendation if Govt gives the people an opportunity regarding improvement of FLOSS and support frame work? This opportunity is always there. > > On May 17, 11:52 am, nishandh M <[email protected]> wrote: > > Problem: > > 1)Kerala Govt has already forced GNU/Linux based system in educational > > system and in administrative sections.It is not just 'let the user > choose' > > [Fact, context] > > 2)Software providers in the field of GNU/Linux does not create it to be > > compatible with every distro/OS version[Fact] > > 3)Additional softwares/updates need to be installed for specific > > purposes,[Fact] > > 4)Current GNU/Linux systems has a high risk of breaking without warning, > > when softwares profile is changed[Fact] > > 5)The students who learn GNU/Linux and associated systems does not have > > enough professisonal functionality** because of comparitively > low-perfoming > > professional softwares in FOSS arena.They fail to get job.[Fact, main > > context of thread] > > > > **apart from server side/embedded/mobile technologies in case of (5) > > > > ............................... > > As a key player in FOSS in Kerala, what would be FSUG-TVM priority? > (please > > select more than one if necessary) > > 6)Give thrust on supporting the Distro and version the state has > > adopted(ubuntu), as specifically biased support could help boost its > spread. > > 7)Answer every possible querry in FLOSS, based on individual MailingList > > members interest. > > 8)Support any other distro [one or more] : schoolOS, Mint,debian, RedHat, > > Fedora, Slackware, ArtistX, Novell, .. ..n > > 9)Strongly plead the govt for investing heavily in developing > professional > > GNU/Linux and compatible software systems(mainly owing to reason 5) > > 10)Strongly plead the Govt to support heavily in user-developer > > communication systems, as it is necessary to rectify break downs(read > along > > with 4) > > 11)Get into long term contract ( financial aid ) with Mac / Win owing to > > thier international success in providing professional software > compatibility > > :D > > 12)Get into long term contract with professional application providers > > (Adobe, Avid, Apple... etc) owing to thier international success in > > providing professional software compatibility > > 13)Get into long term contract with FOSS software providers as this would > > explode possibilities in near future, eventhough not right now. > > 11)something else. > > > > .................................. > > -- > > > > > #////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// > # > > "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" > > Leonardo da Vinci > > > #////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// > # > > > > -- > > "Freedom is the only law". > > "Freedom Unplugged"http://www.ilug-tvm.org > > > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > > Groups "ilug-tvm" group. > > To control your subscription visithttp:// > groups.google.co.in/group/ilug-tvm/subscribe > > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > [email protected] > > > > For details visit the google group page: > http://groups.google.com/group/ilug-tvm?hl=en > > -- > "Freedom is the only law". > "Freedom Unplugged" > http://www.ilug-tvm.org > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "ilug-tvm" group. > To control your subscription visit > http://groups.google.co.in/group/ilug-tvm/subscribe > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > > > > For details visit the google group page: > http://groups.google.com/group/ilug-tvm?hl=en > -- #//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////# "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" Leonardo da Vinci #//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////# -- "Freedom is the only law".
