Hi all, It's nice to hear.. Colleges like SNDT and IIT, also some other colleges are migrating themselves on GNU Linux... I like to be the volunteer in this all process of Promoting Foss and also making the team of Fossers. I am also planning with my group to take the seminars on GNU Linux in SubUrban Colleges in Mumbai, as i have some good ppl to help me.
I hope the KK and team also help in that.
