Hi Fred,

I was wondering if you know of people whom I can meet and network on Linux and other Open Source networking partners, especially for use in the NGO/development sector.

Are you aware that Bellanet has been one of the key technical partners in the development and management of D-Groups, a collaboration platform written in open source softwares ( XML and Post Nuke). There are over a 100 lists that are now operating under the d-groups platform.

We were keen to make such capability available in local languages, say Hindi or Tamil or Chinese, and we would be keen to partner with agencies that are involved in it.

May be you can make a request posting in your list , and give us your references and contacts.

Thanks for taking out the time.

Regards,

Jaya

PS. I certainly wanted to meet with Prof. Ashok Jhunjunwala, do you have his contact email, phone, etc?
