Hello frns,
That's a great news, keep the good work going. I
belive the involvement of Free Software like Gimp in
curriculam is definitely ganna help spread the cause.
I sincerely hope it will make an effect.
Anyone tried the new initiative of Novell to have an
open source .net implementation ? It is called mono.
go-mono.com and mono-project.com
Can we try expanding the s2s2 range to other places
than Kannore ? As I'm from Palakkad I believe I can
help to start one for Palakkad ( Like branches but not
branches, Independant operations but help and support
or can be any structure but the idea is to stread the
cause).
Bye
Praveen
