Thanks much for your quick response. Is it possible for you to post it to Chennai? Can someone from Chennai volunteer to help AID Chennai with IT@School installation.
Kindly attend the next ILUGC Meet (mostly on 10th Jun). I hope, you can find some guys with your freq.
FYI: NRC-FOSS is successfully included one(!) FOSS Intro "elective" course in Anna Univ, TN. Hoping to convert some of the lab class to use FOSS Tools.
Bye :)

Classic case of people with muddied concepts making the wrong law. The question is what can we do about it to protect the honest intents of those before and after us? Write to the President... Petition... lobby ?

Yes they have really messed up with the usage of the word 'Hacker'. They could have use cracker instead. Few days back I had blogged about this http://www.techmag.biz/meaning_hacking_india
