Has anybody tried to convince the IT Act Review committee that FOSS should be de jure and de facto national software policy?
Why a down to top approach? Cant we approach top policy making bodies in uniform manner? AICTE,UGC and all can be directed in a day to accept FOSS as de facto software approach and they have to start converting themselves for that. It seems as if we are behaving like missionaries who intend to convert whole planet in one religion some nice day. FOSSCOMM core committee has not even met HRD, IT Ministers for even a formal FOSS initiative on national policy matters. This mailing list is a place to be happy about seeing 'something'. Sorry to say, there is no proper representation of spirit of FOSS developers and the efforts are very very mild. No IAS in FOSSCOMM mailing list? No UGC/AICTE guy? Nobody in Sachin Pilot/Raja's team? Come on! We are not hippies. No more Dewang! I wish he could take rebirth? This time this side!
