In Karnataka we had a "Say NO to VTU-M$ tie-up". It would have been good
had NRCFOSS been an actual signatory apart from verbal support.
We shall be continuing this campaign again and I hope that NRCFOSS will play an
active role.

I don't maintain the blog but I have a few suggestions:
1. Actively support teams in all States of India in promoting FOSS.
Support would
cover resources to train teachers, providing a
platform(university-level meetings etc)
where we can meet the concerned teachers and convince them.
2. Training of teachers in multiple phases. One time is NOT sufficient.
3. Ensuring that colleges have adequate facilities to implement the subject.
4. For FOSS to develop the local economy must directly be benefited.
This can be
made possible by encouraging newer entrepreneurs and not just already
established ones.
5. Discuss NRCFOSS's plan of action with people doing ground work not just
on the mailing list as the mailing list is only a tool for coordination.
6. NRCFOSS should work as a catalyst keeping the promotion of FOSS as
the primary goal.
