Thanks Rushabh and Dsouza for your kind and encouraging words.
I think every Indian can participate in this activity. The least thing
that everyone can do is to make awareness of foss and boss.
Write some articles, blogs, emails and send to your freinds. Let them
know boss and foss
You know it is Indianized version of linux and also not perfect. It may
be inferior to many other linux flavors. But most of the Indians who are
only using computers for their basic needs, it is more than sufficient.
So you can safely recommend them. They really enjoy the logo bharat on
desktop.
Making it perfect is not a difficult task at all. But we know government
will not do it unless we pressurize them.
Here is a brief description of my humble efforts, apart from PIL. You
are always welcome to share your knowledge and efforts with us.

Bharat Operating System Solutions
How can you help us ?
The moment we started promotion of boss, India's own operating system,
people have kindly started offering their help to our informal group.
Most of them asked one question again and again.
Can I help this activity if I have little or no knowledge of computers ?
We are very happy to welcome you since we really require help from every
citizen of India. BOSS is ....of the people by the people and for the
people of India.
There are so many areas where you can help us. We require teachers,
orators, writers, lawyers, team leaders, artists etc. If you think you
do not have any such skill then you are probably wrong. Just join our
group and you will soon learn one such skill.
Group : Bharat Oerating System
Step 1 : How to join ?
The first step required is to install Telegram on your smart phone.
Telegram is an application similar to Whats App. We prefer Telegram
because it is open source and not commercial product like whats app or hike.
If you don't have smart phone, no problem, you can still install and use
telegram through your laptop and desktop or both ! But you require
mobile number to register.
If you have difficulty in installing telegram, contact any of our
members or local guru who will teach you complete the first step. It is
very easy to install telegram.
Step 2 : What Next ?
Read discussion on the group. You will find all sort of people in the
discussion. Goal is one - To help people in removing Microsoft, Install
BOSS and use BOSS in everyday life. You can share your ideas here on the
group on how to achieve this goal. You may find lot of technical
discussion. You may ask questions or put your opinion.
Please stay with us for some time and you will eventually be familiar
with this activity and start enjoying it.
If you can contact 10 to 12 group members in your area, then form
similar group starting your activities independently for example -
BOSS-Banglore,BOSS-Pune etc. After that all of your members need not
stay on this group. Only one will be here to keep in touch. Others will
quit voluntarily in order to make place for new members.
Step 3 : Covering the whole Country
If you are a beginner, you will be surprised to know that all boss
supporters of our country of 135 crores can stay connected
simultaneously with application like whats app. This is called as
Internet Relay Chat (IRC). You will learn how to use IRC along with
telegram. You can learn or teach others remotely using IRC.
Our country has made a separate channel for BOSS users on IRC server
'freenode'. Channel is named as #boss-nrcfoss. Once you master Telegram
and IRC you can start your own journey with your own plans to spread
boss and help in the digital progress of our contry.
This activity will implement BOSS throughout the country achieving
digital literacy, eradicating digital slavery imposed by 'Microsoft'.
Thus making our country truly independent.
From software experts, we expect various free and open source software
applications that we need in everyday life and can be run on linux
systems, preferably on BOSS.
To start with, we in SIWS college,Mumbai, have developed a free and open
source Result software for schools and colleges which runs on BOSS. The
individual mark lists can be prepared on smart phones and transferred to
result committee via email.
We give free assistance to schools and colleges with the condition that
they have to install BOSS on at least two machines and prepare result on
it and also they should give free assistance to nearby schools and
colleges in implementing this software.
The idea has been instantly accepted by teachers and students of our
college and by KC college students and teachers. Both are working
together now on Bharat group. Many more colleges and schools have
started showing interest.
To join let me know your telegram number. I will add you to 'Bharat
Operating System'.
My no. is 8652305696
Beginners and Experts all are welcome.

Great work Milind. If GoM is spending 2.5cr just in Mantralaya, then we can
imagine how much it would be for all departments, corporations, PSUs owned by
GoM. If we calculate all
