What is the NRCF about , what resources does it provide I have been meaning to write a short summary of our discussions with Prof. Krishnan and others of Anna University-KBC and NRCF. These have happened at foss.in and elsewhere, and I believe that the NRCF could play a very significant role in FOSS activities in India. I have been travelling since the meet, and haven't had time to do the summary, but will sit down and do it tonight, as I think that it is important for the community to take advantage of what the NRCF is offering. > 3. Helping organizations migrate to Linux. Having migrated to Linux am interested to know what are the strategies organizations are adopting and what problems are being faced. Particular interest is in organizations that do not have Sys Admin skills and those that are deploying at the user / desktop level. And those that are migrating their legacy hardware as well. We had a brief discussion on this issue at foss.in. All were agreed that such migrations should be supported by the FOSS community. We even agreed to try and ensure that each LUG helps in at least one complete migration per year. At the meeting there wasn't anyone with actual experience in such migrations, but a couple of important points raised were that the initial impetus should come from within the organization seeking to migrate, and that for sustainability, such efforts need to be funded. > I would be glad to prepare a short presentation outlining > these areas, but getting involved in any of these would > require a concerted effort on the part of ILUG-D members. would it be possible to upload the presentation to the ILUG website so that some of us remote members may access it. OK, I will volunteer to write a short summary, and also make whatever slides I have available online.
