Maybe I misunderstood your intent in posting this article,
but, please do not promote these idiots as actually supporting
FOSS. From the first three lines of the fluff-piece of the article:
"Left without as much work for all its employees, Infosys is
offering some of them an option to work with a non-profit
organisation for a year and get paid half their salary by the IT
major, its co-founder Nandan Nilekani has said."
Yeah! Infosys stoops to conquer FOSS, graciously granting FOSS
proponents all of half their salary. Those stinky, bearded hippies
better be happy for our magnanimity. For my money, to hell with
Nandan Nilekhani, most of corporate India IT, and their ilk.

P.S. By the way, would people refrain from posting random articles
of interest to this list? I thought that fosscomm had a focus,
which was items of practical interest, where we could maybe
take concrete action, and not a catch-all for any FOSS-related
news. There are plenty of lists for the latter.
