It was mentioned in Anivar's mail that "Even the decision to adopt Free Software in
IT at School was decided in an SCERT meeting (with the support of 85% of
teachers) much before 2006 elections." . What efforts did the Free Software Social Movement do to make this process in action ?
In your mail it has been mentioned
"<In a boot-strapping process, there is a logical sequence of events.

The initial part which you mentioned (schooling) has been an initiative by the Govt as per my knowledge till now (from the Top now from the Bottom). The above question I asked what Free Software Movement did to implement it. ? Only if that answer is given what you said above would makes sense to me "Here the initial part is schooling, which is fast maturing through Free Software initiatives." , "Since this process is already in motion, it qualifies to be called a "Movement".

Pls join the list (and encourage others too) in order to remain posted
about current developments.
One can try out Free Software, even without knowing it in its
entirety. And one can learn about its philosophy even without being
taught formally about it - why should one discount the space available
for horizontal discussions within student communities ?
