Hi , Sorry if it soudned so. Will like to take it back. However let me explain what i meant. because of systemic issues - the children hardly get into engineering and technology education. most of them drop out during their 10+2. some folks become accountants or join b.com evening college ( this is what the bright kids who some how cross through all hurdles maybe 10% of the lot) so if some one can train them on tally or someone get a certification from know software company - closed or open - will help them get jobs... something like mutlimedia design which can leverage on current skills - where folks can get jobs independent of degree bckground etc. in fact we want some one to look at free software oppurtuities - which have viability in the market..will be happy if we can get any help regards senthil ________________________________ From: mail(a)anushshetty.com [mailto:mail@anushshetty.com] On Behalf Of Anush Shetty Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:56 PM To: Senthil Sundaram (sensunda); Free Software Users Group - Bangalore Subject: Re: [FSUG-Bangalore] free software - slum computer centre Why the name Slum Needs?
