Friends
Recently the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, which is a deemed
university and well known for its academic prowess in the social sciences
arena, decided to adopt FOSS.
Nagarjuna and I recently met with the Director and TISS is planning to
migrate to Ubuntu GNU/Linux, Open Office, Thunderbird and Firefox for its
desktops in a phased manner with support from HBSC and FSF (both of which
Nagarjuna is associated with)
I am attaching a letter I wrote to the Director, which resulted in this
meeting with him, this could be used as a 'template' for writing to all
public education institutions, suggesting that they have special reasons to
adopt FOSS and avoid proprietary software. While we may not have the same
success in other cases, it would certainly increase awareness in mainstream
public education institutions that 'FOSS is the right way to go'. We have
also requested that TISS should also write out its migration as a 'case
study' that could be shared with other public institutions as well.
regards,
Guru
