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.
