I am interested in replicating this model here in India. A start can be done in Delhi and Bangalore side and extended further as we add new members. There are hundreds of projects which can be done atleast at the localization level. I hope if you read all the material listed on the links given above. there won't be any need for me to say more. The purpose itself is enough to justify the cause.
Just think! we are the nation of more than 1 billion people and we are largest software factory in the world, how much do we contribute to free/open source software ?? Although in long run we can take the biggest advantages from Free/Open Source Software.
Looking forward to hear comments from you folks.
Thanks and Regards, Puneet
