Dear All,

I have received some comments/feedback on the Nudi note. Request others also to send/update the wiki with their feedback/comments by end of day, Friday (Jul 17). Once we get feedback, we can share the note with the government.

Thanks, Vinay.

Dear All,

One of the biggest impediments for FOSS adoption by government of Karnataka is that Nudi does not work on GNU/Linux. In a recent discussion, some of us from IT for Change brought this concern to the notice of Srikanth Nadhamuni who is a member of the core committee set up by Government of Karnataka to develop a egovernance road-map for the state.

Mr.Nadhamuni has asked to us to submit a note on the inter-operability concerns with Nudi. I have prepared a draft note and uploaded it on the FSUG wiki. Request all of you to please review the note and make any necessary modifications to the note. Once the note is complete, we can submit it to the government.

I have uploaded the note here -

Please feel free to also add on any other thoughts/suggestions on this matter. At the end of the day, we want a government approved solution which is free and open and lets us use Kannada, independent of platform (and which also helps take care of the earlier/archival documents on earlier versions of Nudi).

Thanks, Vinay.
