Here's an opportunity for FOSS consultants and firms to get FREE publicity through LINUX For You! Our interaction with IT managers has revealed that one of the biggest obstacles faced by them while reviewing FOSS solutions is lack of information about potential solution providers. It seems that if they had multiple options, they would feel more comfortable in discussing their challenges with different solution providers, and thus having the confidence that they were taking an informed decision. To bridge this gap, LINUX For You has been working on creating a Yellow Pages section within the magazine itself, where anyone seeking a Linux/FOSS solution provider can find them through a category-wise listing. In the last 2-3 months, we have managed to collate a list of over 50 solution providers. But, we believe that there are many more out there, and the real value of FOSS Yellow Pages (FYP) will only emerge once decision makers have ample choice to work with. THUS, THE SPECIAL OFFER: Any firm**, be it a one-man consultancy or an MNC, can get listed for FREE under any ONE category of their choice. This offer is open till 31st December 2008 or till we reach our goal of listing 100 firms in FYP. This free listing will be applicable till March 2009, and could be extended if things work out well. Oh! The Yellow Pages listing will also be made available online, shortly. To enlist your organisation for FREE, you can download the form from http://www.openitis.com/fyp/ [Please ignore the tariff mentioned in the FYP leaflet -- those are applicable to only those who want to enlist under additional categories.] If you have doubts or queries, please feel free to call Dhiraj Khare at 011-26810601 or 02 or 03 (extn: 230) -- he will be more than happy to facilitate your entry. Hope to keep playing a role in growing the India FOSS ecosystem with your support... Yours truly, LINUX For You Sales & Marketing Team
**To ensure that firms listed in FYP are genuine, we will seek one of the following: (a) proof of incorporation of the firm, or (b) proof of a current account for the firm
