There are many instances, if some one meet IT secretary of Kerala with some venture for free software based project, he used to direct to Arun, even before he was appointed in IT mission, as if Arun is the sole authority to decide on it. Finally that will be implemented by some agency in which Arun may have some undocumented interest. That is how SPACE grabbed project on Malayalam Computing even when there is lot of similar activities carried out by SMC. There are so many such examples of malpractices. ILUG-Cochin have many stories to tell. There was an attempt to have a deal of training with ILUG-Cochin people by SPACE, when Arun was in-charge of it. The SPACE asked them not to have any contact with the trainees after the stipulated time of training. By sensing false-play in it ILUG-Cochin people dropped the deal.
