 We are not giving to depend totally on Ms. Products. Rather MS 
 Office is taught along with open office and Windows along with Linux 
 from this year. Arranging the resource persons for training an open 
 software, making available the software, the maintenance of a help desk 
 etc. are logistical issues which could not be immediately undertaken. 
 We plan switch out to open software within three years.

Respected sir,
 SUB: In protest against the inclusion of products from multinational companies 
 in the syllabus of 'IT @ SCHOOL'

 It's a very dissappointing fact that when the whole world is moving towards 
Free software, we at kerala are going behind a major MNC - Microsoft. I hereby register 
my protest in such an act from 'IT @ SCHOOL' Project team.

Breaking of prototypes will definetly help us in finding economical and high quality 
products for our future generation. 

For students and programmers, the GNU Linux contains 'GNU Compiler Collections' 
which includes C, C++, FORTRAN, PERL, TCL etc. Also, for DTP and other publishing
purposes, 
it includes GNU Office utilities like Abi-Word, gedit, and other worksheet utilities, 
all these with a nominal cost of Rs 700-800/-. The software as it is, is free and 
the cost is accounted towards the media (CD + Documentation) included.

By this letter, I urge you to take this matter seriously and suggest necessary
modifications 
in the action plan of 'IT @ SCHOOL' project.

Wishing you all the best and wishing all 'Students @ SCHOOL' a bright future,

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully

Manjush G. Menon.
