Red Hat signs 15 more ISVs in India, SL - Thursday, 03 March , 2005, 17:18 http://sify.com/finance/fullstory.php?id=13685328
New Delhi: OpenSource solutions provider Red Hat has added 15 new Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners in India and Sri Lanka.
Red Hat will work closely with these ISVs to ensure that their applications are certified on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform, the company said in a statement here. Red Hat India has already partnered with over 50 ISVs, who are working on certifying their applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. ''We are witnessing tremendous demand from Indian ISVs for certifying their applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, indicating the rapid acceptance and momentum of Linux in India. Red Hat is committed to providing support to Indian ISVs who wish to certify applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux,'' Red Hat India Director Javed Tapia said. The Red Hat Partner Community is designed to encourage the combination of OpenSource and traditional technologies into enterprise computing. It is a network of technology companies, including OEMs, ISVs, System Integratos, training organizations, distributors and resellers. Over 400 types of hardware and 1,000 applications are already certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The Red Hat Partner Programme was established in 1999 with computing leaders Dell, IBM, Intel, HP, and Oracle.

Hi Friends,
Xfce has been dropped from Fedora Core 4. According to Bill Nottingham of Red Hat: <notting@redhat com> who is on the 4 (or 5) man techincal commitee that made the decision to drop Xfce:
- XFCE: duplicate functionality with respect to GNOME, KDE, etc
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-February/msg01319.htm...)
I think if people are so concerned about the duplication of functionality, then they should think about GNOME or KDE to drop, since they're really "duplicate" in the sense that they both provide full-featured, complete desktop environment and suite of applications. Also both these require more than 150MB in package form. Xfce, in contrast, aims to be lightweight and fast, and is only around 40MB in package form. There is not duplicality in this ! .
When we had a small poll about the Desktop preferences in our college, most of the people voted for XFCE, as it is having the good graphical desktop environment. Also people from the Windowmaker environment can also switch to xfce easily. Download and try out the new xfce 4.2 (40 MB) with the graphical installer from http://www.xfce.org.

See what Atul Chitnis got to say aboyt the Bangalore one project.
The Bangalore One project, while noble in concept and intent, is a classic implementation of a project built on lack of information by the people executing it.
The project, being built completely on a proprietary platform developed by an American software company, will be used to collect and maintain information about the citizens of the state of Karnataka.
