Dear Milind, Thanks for your detailed response. Love your spirit and I hope something good comes out of it. You are right on the money when you say that despite major policy wins, what we see on the ground is pretty disappointing. But progress comes in bits and pieces and every fight is important. Do keep us updated and let us know if we can be of any help, even though I do not agree with your strategy. The “experts” can easily say what ever is true of other Linux distros is also true of BOSS.
I am also extremely disappointed and disillusioned by the government and the Digital India campaign that started off with a lot of fan-fare, but there is absolutely zero outreach from the government. Doing contests and hackathons are a great and easy way to get community involved but there is no real intent of the government doing anything and no early adopters either. One way (the only way) we see out of this is to put our energy in making and improving viable alternatives that will make the paid ones irrelevant. best, Rushabh -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
