Arangle: This reads great. Couple of very interesting quotes about why the country's public school system is going for FOSS -- not because it's free but because they want their students to hack into codes and learn from that.
I think this is one of the key messages that we as well as other FOSS projects should try and convey. I remember an ad about Tata Iron and Steel -- the second largest steel company in India. The ad talked about TISCO's chartiable givings, corporate culture, etc. but mentioned nothing about steel making for the first 50 seconds. It ends with a quote: "We also make steel." I think, if we start emphasizing on the benefits of open source and then add the fact that it's free, it would have a greater impact. No more suggestions from me, although I think it would be great to do a follow-up with this guy and see if the teachers and students had any teething trouble and if so, how much time it took them to overcome it. Plus, try and get some politician for a Q&A.
