Hi,

While i do not want to bring politics here, i would like to highlight the
amount of awareness that the above news could bring in.  If other political
parties follow the same announcement, then open source will get a boost.

Already some of the political leaders are using open source to great
extent.  For example, in www.lkadvani.in joomla and  wordpress is used.  And
they are using phplist for the mailing list too.

Do any one have info on how other political leaders are using open source?
