GNU/Linux or are you a kernel devel :) Some points: 'to a first world country' : that is framing with a development model in mind. half a billion Indians on Internet ..... SOURCE?. souls ... nonsense :) planck time = 5.39106(32) × 10−44 s So very few people actually go online .... :) Cell phone adoption figures are not clear due to people having too many subscriptions. "remain rooted in the Indian ethos" ... that is condemning them to a wretched life. _________________________________ *India is a multi-ethnic, multi-racial country one billion strong and growing. The road of a developing nation is a long and arduous one, and among India's most pressing problems are official corruption and the suppression of women and the LGBT community.* * * *Though India is an ancient nation with a 5000-year history, a substantial section of its well-off people have embraced modern technicality, from cell-phone toting farmers to tweeting teenagers, technophile home-makers to artistic designers, and more who are coming online, communicating, coding and interacting in real time. * * And yet, these people are still struggling to finding their voices while retaining basic human values within our society. Your challenge is to bring out your virtual brushes and pictorially depict this struggle while celebrating their diversity. Do you see any point in India's history while looking forward into its future? Exercise your creative freedom with Free/Libre open source software and other technologies. Your poster may be the inspiration that gives them a voice to fight for their rights, a vision of a better tomorrow, a tomorrow that gives them the freedom and space to dream while allowing them to explore the problems of their culture.* ________________________________________ The current plan is to restrict possible topics for posters I think we need a additional section for that because of the above.
