Can we be positive? Many of us may not even know the mandate of NRCFOSS and whether they are allowed to venture into all this. Assuming they are not just wandering into eGovernance but treat that as a part of the mandate,
Can we all write to NRCFOSS e.g
to fund and organise statewise meets on FOSS and egovernance with following agenda
- Demo Best experiences and practices
- bring at least one MP (preferably a minister) to the forum
- provide forum for critics
- Involve LUG in a transparent way through this kind of mailing
list 5. set example by sponsoring a project in each state that truly answer the needs 6. Explain priorities
with variation as applicable in each state. LUG meets should discuss such matters online/offline and give concrete suggestions ( I donot want to snatch away the fun of the armchair LUGGIST to criticise one and all. This appeal is for those who wish to contribute also)
They are already doing the above afaik. BTW what happened to the NRCFOSS lab at VJTI. According to some the lab has been "hijacked" by VJTI.
Besides this thread is about influencing policy makers, not about promoting FOSS. Can we start a separate thread for "NRCFOSS roadmap for Promoting FOSS".
