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 <http://fsug.in>
or fosscommunity.in <http://fosscommunity.in>, just ask here.
