Well done Savithri ji, Congrats! You are right we have to expand our network in India by connecting those who research and promote FOSS. In Kerala, on 9/12/2008 to 11/12/2008 there will be an International Seminar on FOSS (www.fsfs.in) where in stalwarts like * *Richard Matthew Stallman<http://fsfs.in/schedule/speakers/47.en.html> , Jimmy Wales <http://fsfs.in/schedule/speakers/11.en.html> , Alan Story<http://fsfs.in/schedule/speakers/51.en.html>, Eben Moglen <http://fsfs.in/schedule/speakers/53.en.html> , etc will be participating. State Govt., through Kerala State IT Mission is the major partner of the event. I have wrote to the organizers to discuss the possibility of developing a Transnational Qualification Framework for FOSS education. Major factors that slows down the spread of FOSS are the lack of proper awareness, absence of a pedagogical system that promote the teaching and learning of FOSS, and nominal support force. Once the FOSS community is succeed in establishing a Qualification Framework and popularize FOSS studies, the above problems can be solved to a greater extent and we will be able to create labour market demand for FOSS experts and teachers – it is necessary for sustained development and use. I also introduced WikiEducator and informed that WikiEducator can be used by the FOSS community to develop the Qualification Framework for FOSS education. Let us raise the need of a Qualification Framework for FOSS in other FOSS venues also. We will be able to achieve it by networking WikiEducators, FOSS experts, teachers who has faith in FOSS, academic institutions/bodies that are willing to co-operate etc etc to this movement.
