I was just wondering; do NGOs in India look at FOSS as an alternative
for cost-cutting at all? Has anyone on-list succeeded in introducing FOSS in any NGO-aided school or vocational training centre?
We have started a program called 'yuj' which aims at tapping academic resources of the nation to serve the needs of NGOs / small organizations / govt. and others.
Visit : http://www.yuj.in/ for the details.
One of our motives is to demonstrate and promote FOSS as cost-effective and healthy methodology for development of the nation.
We installed Ubuntu and some educational software in "Mrityunjoy Night School , Kandivili".
The people who have interests similar to us can join and help the team achieve the goals.
