Hi All,
Some of you may have seen (in other LUGs or elsewhere) a draft FOSS manifesto which has been circulated.With elections approaching in April 2009, it was time to create a FOSS manifesto for Indian political parties. This manifesto calls upon political parties to support FOSS in India through certain suggested policy measures/actions.
The FOSS manifesto has been put up as a petition - http://www.public-software.in/FOSS-manifesto
The idea is to collect as many signatures as possible and then submit the petition along with the list of signatories to various political parties. Hence, more the number of signatures, greater the weight of the petition.
Please go ahead and view the petition and endorse it if you are ok with this petition.
Please also pass on this message to anyone else you know outside of the community, who might be willing to endorse the petition.
Thanks to Deeproot Linux for helping put this up!
Thanks, Vinay.
