Hi friends, Recently I have written an application which can be used in the schools in kerala as student admission register as per Kerala Educational Rules [KER]. This would make tasks such as T.C issuance, finding details about students etc easier. Checkout http://code.google.com/p/school-admin Platforms: GNU/Linux , M$ Windows Comments please :) -- Sarath Lakshman http://sarathlakshman.info

Re: [Fsf-friends] Govt in tie-up with MS launches SWARAJ to manage panchayats

by CK Raju, Thrissur

Swaraj - "Swa" here is Microsoft and "raj" should be Government. Even with all the pomp and gaiety that followed the new *radical* IT Policy of the Government, the following were the papers forwarded to the XIV Science Congress from IKM (Information Kerala Mission aliter Information of Kerala for Microsoft). The papers are http://220.227.128.112/downloads/ikm/CaseStudy20060622.pdf http://220.227.128.112/downloads/ikm/Sevana.pdf http://220.227.128.112/downloads/ikm/Sulekha.pdf This shows the potency of Microsoft even as it reveals the impotency and helplessness of the IT Department in our State.

Govt in tie-up with MS launches SWARAJ to manage panchayats

by Santhosh Thottingal

>From http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Infotech/Govt_in_tie-up_with_MS_launche… NEW DELHI: The government on Tuesday launched an integrated software application for managing panchayati raj system in the country. The application titled SWARAJ was launched by the Union Minister for Panchayati Raj Mani Shankar Aiyar at the Microsoft - Government Leadership Summit in the capital on Tuesday. .... This application would help overcome the problems of multiple applications and absence of proper Management Information Systems (MIS), thus making the process of technological implementation in rural area easier and more transparent. ... What is meant by Swaraj?!!!! -Santhosh Thottingal http://santhoshtr.livejournal.com

[CROSS-POSTED] Re: National Policy on ICT in Education

I have started putting my thoughts down on the web, and invite anyone who wants to contribute to add to them (it's on a Wiki): http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/NationalICTEducation The document is still quite preliminary and I'm hoping that people more qualified than me will take some time and help fill in the copious blanks. Insh'allah some of the ideas that we come up with would be able to influence the forthcoming policy in a positive direction. I have just one request, which is to avoid jingoistic anti-MS statements that may end up making the whole document unpalatable to policy makers (this is specifically aimed at the Linux/FOSS community ;) Here the subtle knife may be preferable to the blunt hammer.

wanna meet some fsf-friends

by shirish

Hi all, I'm just a noob/newbie in the world of fsf. While I have been using ubuntu for last 4-5 yrs. in an individual capacity for desktop use & part of the local LUG (Pune Linux Users Group - PLUG) as well. I came to know about fsf-india couple of years back. then as time went by & I saw FSF's work rising & doing good stuff in South my interest was piqued. So on the auspicious eve of upcoming Diwali in a few days I'll be traveling up north, Delhi, Jaipur, Ajmer, Pushkar meeting friends as well as relatives for many years. If the same occasion presents itself for meeting some fsf-friends it would be nice. I would be travelling from 2nd Dec. to 24th Dec. I know its bad timing with foss.in also happening during those days but that's the way the cookie crumbles. So if there are going to be any LUG meets or any way to meet up with people please lemme know.
