Perhaps this is what Linux needs more of in India now...

[FREDERICK NORONHA <fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nagendra, Keep the flag flying. Your spirit needs commendation.
Perhaps we need two things (more than anything else) to give Linux in India a 
big boost:
(i) More Indians contributing to the global Linux initiative... and doing so 
in a visible manner, so that theire efforts don't get drowned out.
(ii) Success in convincing some state or union territory government to take 
up to Linux in a big way (and highlight that, including the financial gain 
and other positive fallouts) as done in the Mexico-schools case.
Anyone on this list has ideas on the above? -Frederick.
