Recently MP govt has launched a website called *http://idea4cm.com/ *This website is meant for submission for ideas to Chief Minister of MP. This is a good platform to put our voice to govt. There are many member who are actively involved in many field like Education , ICT, Software patent, vendor neutralization of academic, Free software, Govt Policies activist, FOSS enthusiastic etc. I hope they will feel this as a good medium of communication to govt. I do not know about status of other states of India, but its a nice initiative inside MP.

Nudi and FOSS
by vinay sreenivasa 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hi All, In trying to promote FOSS with the government of Karnataka, one of the problems is that Nudi does not work on any FOSS OS. However in getting Nudi to work on a FOSS OS, i guess there are various issues , some of which I have written below. Requesting the community to go through the same and let me know If I have captured the problem accurately and also let me know your thoughts on the solutions. There is a way to make Nudi work on a FOSS distro by using SCIM I guess, but that will mean that we have to implement Nudi in its existing format which is not in Unicode. On the other hand, to move Nudi to Unicode, it has to be done only by the KGP, soemthing which we dont know if they are willing to do. Now assuming that we get KGP to move Nudi to Unicode(and make it free and open) i guess there are some problems with rendering kannada on unicode(some things like arkavottu will not work? ), also the other issue being that we need someone to support Nudi continuously as Fedora,Ubuntu,Debian etc keep releasing newer versions right? Please do let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Vinay. Vinay Sreenivasa IT for Change 91-98805-95032 vinay(a)itforchange.net http://itforchange.net http://india.is-watch.net/ http://is-watch.net

Nudi and FOSS

>>Have a check on this post which talks about enabling kannada in Ubuntu >> http://sampada.net/blog/omshivaprakash/21/10/2008/12862 >> Also there have been lots of documentation made at various stages >> which are accessible at http://dev.sampada.net >> kn-itrans is just like Baraha and Baraha IME and very user friendly as >> mentioned in my article. Hi Om, The documentation is really good! All, I know that we have alternate options to Nudi, on FOSS distros. But the issue is not that. the issue is that the government will want to use Nudi on FOSS. So we need to get Nudi to work on FOSS..and for that i'm seeking inputs..what are your thoughts on getting Nudi to work on Ubuntu. Do share :-) Vinay Sreenivasa IT for Change 91-98805-95032 vinay(a)itforchange.net http://itforchange.net http://india.is-watch.net/ http://is-watch.net >
