However, it *would* be nice if we could get some news directly from
NRCFOSS instead of speculating and assuming things. Anyone?
True.
Instead, we discussing about this,
Let us wait for someone from NRCFOSS reply
on their activities on Anna University Syllabus.
Will they reply?
Definitely NO.
Do not expect the reply here from any one of NRCFOSS employees include
Mr.Kenneth. There are many other present/ex NRCFOSS people are watching this
list. But they cant take any responsibilities. They are here just because of
their interest in FOSS/GNU Linux.
So you have to reach them. Its very easy.
You may send all your comments/queries to Mr.C N Krishnan, Project Coodrinator
of NRCFOSS, AU-KBC. He is the right person to clear all your queries reg the
subject. You can reach him by cnkrish@xxxxxxxxxx
The quote from wikipedia about NRCFOSS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NRCFOSS
"NRCFOSS, an acronym for the National Resource Centre for Free/Open Source
Software, is an organisation created and financed in India by the
Department of Information Technology,
Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Government of
India in April 2005.[1] It is jointly
administered by the Chennai Division of Centre for Development of
Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and
the AU-KBC Research Centre of Anna University. Some state governments,
for example Kerala, already have
programmes to popularize FOSS among the masses especially among the students."
"The founding of NRCFOSS is the first initiative by the Government of
India in the direction of making efforts for increasing the acceptance
of FOSS at a national level.
NRCFOSS is designed to give a boost to the efforts to popularize FOSS
products among lay computer
users of India."
The billion dollar question among the computer users in India now!
* Has NRC-FOSS done its job in promoting FOSS in India since 2005 ???
* If not, do we need such anorganization anymore ???
* Will Government of India Listen to lay computer users of India ???
