 It would. Just because of the fact, that top executives (in Education
 Dept,
 in regional ministerys and so on) is that kind of clerks, that WOULDN'T
 accept
 anything if it is impossible to get (read as steal) some money in
 personal.


 The link [1] shows that the _can_ get money in personal.

  And I'd prefer
 make a distribution for the higher shool based on Gentoo Linux.


 I'd also prefer, but it is not that possible as you imagine. There is such
 thing as certification in Federal Security Service (FSB) and so on.


 1. It's not a big problem. We can certify a release of our Gentoo based
distribution. It's just need a money to pay to laboratories. Plus
big universities (like my) have enough social ties to fast push
such things through Russian bureaucracy machines, IMO. And we
can return the spent money the same way as ALT Linux (by selling
tech support coupons).

 2. The Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (ФСТЭК) and
Federal Security Service (ФСБ) certificates required only to process
big systems with personal data (ФЗ-152). For the rest systems (like
ordinal desktop) it's not required at all.

  So
 here's the Question:

 Does anybody interested in creating a consortium to send an application
 to the Ministry of Communications?


 I'm partially interested to mentally maintain that, but I have to free
 time to
 activelly do anything in personal (but, probably, will be fine in a
 group).


 I just offer to unite efforts. You don't need to free an additional time.
 We just need to find common problems and solve it together as a project for
 Ministry of Communications. Other good people will connect to us and
 meanwhile the support of the ministry will stimulate the top executives.

 Specifically, I'm interested in making a distribution for the higher
 school of Russian Federation.

  But, as I said, I doubt in success of that operation. But... Let the
 Force be
 with us...


 There was a lot of doubtable (but good) projects in my life. However few
 of them successfully started and completed. I think we _must_ try if we
 believe in FOSS. Sorry for this pathos :)

  P.S. I'd not use politic-related phrases (like import software
 substitution)
 in international communities at all and here in particular.


 Sorry for that. I was thinking that it's better to make subject more
 concrete.


 Best regards, Dmitry.

I'd also prefer, but it is not that possible as you imagine. There is such 
thing as certification in Federal Security Service (FSB) and so on. And there 
is only two such distributions: Alt Linux and Rosa Linux (if not talking about 
GPL-violating MSVS and Elbrus OS with unknown status of GPL violation (since 
I'm not ready to pay $5k just to check if sources will be included there)).

 So
 here's the Question:
 
 Does anybody interested in creating a consortium to send an application
 to the Ministry of Communications?

I'm partially interested to mentally maintain that, but I have to free time to 
activelly do anything in personal (but, probably, will be fine in a group).
And, except of that, I even very interested in in-place integration, 
because: 1) I'm Gentoo-affiliated IT company CEO (and intereted in Gentoo 
popularity, and have legal possibility for in-place integration in the city I 
live now), 2) I'm a thrice father and dislike the idea my children will be 
forced to learn some M$-produced bloatware. That's why I very like the idea of 
FLOSS/Linuxes at all (and Gentoo in particular) in the schools.
But, as I said, I doubt in success of that operation. But... Let the Force be 
with us...


P.S. I'd not use politic-related phrases (like import software substitution)

For secure industrial OS there's one from Kaspersky wich isn't based on
Linux kernel at all but was written by their own. And that's what FSB
may check and certify if they want. But I don't think that you need to
certify Linux Distribution for universities and colleges in FSB.
