We see a similar problem cropping up now in TN too. The TN govt has
formed a panel which will decide whether Proprietary Software or Free
Software (err... they use the term 'open source') should be used for
the computerisation of the entire Administrative facilities. This
project is very good by itself - provides infrastructure - enables ppl
to do anything and everything related to the TN Govt over the
Internet. The bad thing is that the panel has pro-proprietary
people. The FSUG Chennai will try and do its part. We will cannibalise
FSUG-kochi's memo and present it to them. Most of these guys seem to
be convinced with M$'s FUD that Free Software will be uneconomical and
that 'Free' Software isn't worth because they dont pay for it. They
think the availability of the source code isn't necessary because any
ways it wont be useful to them, they say.
