Lets probably meetup.......Lemee take this oppurtunity to invite all like minded gnu-luggers together so that we get this proposal in motion and are formally able to present a decent argument towards helpin the technology starved governement institutions drive down costs and increase productivity(lol...dont know if the last thing is possible..;))
I think this mailing list is the best place where I can post the questions and get answers so that I can forward the information to our government. Please give as much input as you can.
[snip] i personally will make all attempts to give u as much as possible.......and would also make an appeal to all the white hairs of the ilug-bom to donate some amount of their precious time on this.
Last but not the least Mr.Keyur ...........we would love to give u all the info u want. But......lemme stress BUT.......
If u want us to really help, do put the ilug-bom in touch with the actual decision makers as we personally would like to voice our concern towards the increasin deployment of gnu-linux for all our government institutions nationwide.
If u need nythin u r welcom to get in touch with me off the list. I could arange for some of the white hairs of the ilug-bom to meet nd go ahead with full steam.
