When Rahul Gandhi is walking with Bill Gates in a bank and introduces him to the bank staff as ' the man who is behind the software you use in the bank', we have NO HOPE from Indian Congress Party led Governments whatsoever about any advancement of FOSS. IMHO, the time has come when we must fight in UNESCO to make FOSS a de jure and de facto in education of all member nations. If we want to 'make them understand' , 'encourage' or 'inspire' with freedom walks and blah blah, they are accustomed to the 'delegations'. > Before we start "improving awareness about FOSS in Universities" and > institutions of higher learning, how about our schools and primary classes? > That's where the rot begins. Our kids grow up believing that Windows is the > default OS and everything else is either an aberration or a heresy. School OS is one nice move and we all must do our bit to put it forward. For the critics of School OS, lets consider it step 0.01 :) Mohit Singh ------------------ Today's Imagination is Tomorrow's Innovation Today's Innovation is Tomorrow's Common Sense Today's Common Sense is Tomorrow's Nonsense _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
