You can reach him by [email protected] The quote from wikipedia about NRCFOSS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NRCFOSS "NRCFOSS, an acronym for the National Resource Centre for Free/Open Source Software, is an organisation created and financed in India by the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Government of India in April 2005.[1] It is jointly administered by the Chennai Division of Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and the AU-KBC Research Centre of Anna University. Some state governments, for example Kerala, already have programmes to popularize FOSS among the masses especially among the students." "The founding of NRCFOSS is the first initiative by the Government of India in the direction of making efforts for increasing the acceptance of FOSS at a national level. NRCFOSS is designed to give a boost to the efforts to popularize FOSS products among lay computer users of India." The billion dollar question among the computer users in India now! * Has NRC-FOSS done its job in promoting FOSS in India since 2005 ??? * If not, do we need such anorganization anymore ??? * Will Government of India Listen to lay computer users of India ???
