Petition Update
by Milind Oka 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hi, 47 Supporters so far. Thanks Nagarjuna for your comments and support. I met Krisnakant today. He appreciated the petition drafted by Rushabh, JT and others. He has assured his active participation in this activity along with his gnukhata team - Ishan, Navin, Abhijit, Sachin and Vinita. We have decided to take small informal sessions in schools and colleges for students/teachers to boost the activity. At the same time we will try to get supporting letters from some well known schools and colleges stating that these institutions themselves do not want proprietary softwares and want to use FOSS. Letters will be sent to MHRD along with petition & signatures. (I know few such institutions, krisnakant also knows a few. He is going prepare a draft in couple of days. So we can get it printed quickly on letter head after convincing them). We know it is difficult to do all this in such a short amount of time but let us try. (Orators are welcome !) Regards, Milind PS : My Project on college/school management in FOSS is kept aside for a couple of months.

Stitch In Time
by Milind Oka 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

National Education Policy 2016 : " For the first time, the Government of India is embarking on a time-bound grassroots consultative process, which will enable the Ministry of HRD to reach out to individuals across the country through over 2.75 lakh direct consultations while also taking input from citizens online " - http://mhrd.gov.in/nep-new We all know the benefits of FOSS and also the miserable state of FOSS in our country. Needless to say that the root cause lies in ICT Education. The draft, which is available for download, does not give any importance to open source. It only refers it once or twice. Please do send email to nep.edu(a)gov.in by 31st July 2016, in order that Free and Open Source Software would play the central role in ICT Education. Even a one-line email supporting FOSS in ICT Education will count. Kindly share it on other Linux groups and other places. Thanks and Regards Milind

My suggestions for Petition on Change.org
by Milind Oka 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Hi, Rishabh, JT and Arun have already given important points, In addition to that please consider the main line roughly as follows. 1] Use of FOSS or BOSS must be made mandatory for ICT Education or in any activity in education. (They are making sanskrit mandatory as per input draft) Only recommendation or preference has not worked so far. Educational Institutions can easily find loopholes. 2] A separate and independent body to ensure that it is implemented properly. 3] Proper and effective platform for complaints regarding Violation of Open Source Policy. Also please let us know who is working on first draft of petition to avoid duplication of work. To be frank, I am not very good at drafting otherwise would have prepared it. Please forgive. I think we can upload the petition latest by 15 July so that sufficient number of signatures can be obtained till 30th July.. Regards, Milind

Fwd: Protests March 20-22 against DRM in HTML
by GN 12 Mar '16

12 Mar '16

Looking for a coordinator who can do this -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Protests March 20-22 against DRM in HTML Date: Mon, 07 Mar 2016 01:51:37 -0500 From: Richard Stallman <rms(a)gnu.org> Reply-To: rms(a)gnu.org To: nagarjun(a)gnowledge.org CC: johns(a)gnu.org [[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]] [[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]] [[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]] The FSF wants to organize protests at the international offices of the W3C. One of these is in Pune. Would you like to help organize protests in Pune? You don't have to go there personally yourself. The specific request is for people to take a photo of themselves at the W3C office with a No DRM in HTML sign. Holding a demonstration at the office during the Cambridge W3C meeting (3/20 - 3/22) is ideal, but just taking a photo in front of the office and sending it to us (before 3/20) will be helpful too. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
