Hi,

We met last week in Thrissur and planned a GNUkhata workshop in a short span as 
Abhijith Balan was in Kerala.

The workshop was important in the backdrop of recent announcement by Kerala 
government to switch to Free Software for higher secondary as well (high school 
curriculam is Free Software already).

Many higher secondary teachers joined the workshop as tally is replaced by 
GNUkhata in text books.

Bady also designed a new website at http://thrissur.fsug.in

We are hoping to organize more workshops to keep up the momentum.

If any other communities want a sub domain of fsug.in or fosscommunity.in, just 
ask here.
