1. Advertise a list of educational applications
1. already included in BOSS
2. tested but not included on BOSS
3. used successfully in Kerala/Gujarat
4. make spoken-tutorials from IITB part of the bundle.
2. Find a crack in the system : Dr Rajgopal in CDAC Chennai/ Dr
Rajaram Sharma in NCERT have been supporting FOSS . Urge them to include
these in bundled BOSS . They may show some difficulties. Solve them, if
easy. Get govt support some way to solve if necessary.
3. Failing to get a response : make appeals to some school authorities
and advertise thru YouTube/Facebook the power of free and open source
software
NOTE : I have no negative comments on any negative approach.
