Did you mean C-DAC or did they change names (like ER&DCI and NCST)?
The Hindu reported "C-DAT" and I am not sure if CDAC has some sub-division that is called C-DAT or if it is a mere spelling mistake.
Do not be elated. I was at the meeting at Hyatt.
It indeed is, err ... ummm.. ah... the C-DAC.
But then, this project is handled by thee division formerly called the NCST, which has been merged into C-DAC. Unfortunately, the original C-DAC continue their old `non-philosophy'while the (erstwhile) NCST is changing with the times, and right now, the `open source' phase of migration (of philosophies, that is).
After my and Nagarjun's (what I believe is) useful interaction with the NCST people who will be handling the project, I hope they will realise the difference.
Further hopefully, the director of C-DAC has publicly acknoowledged during his address at the meet that there _is_ a difference between linux and GNU/Linux. ;-)
So, let us be optmistic that CDAC will mend its old ways.
