[Fsf-friends] Happy Birthday FSF India

[CK Raju]

I happened to cut across and reach out to the Member Secretary, State
Planning Board, Govt of Kerala at Thiruvananthapuram on Jul/12. 

I was stunned at the way the Secretary had been informed about Free
Software, that it was just another kind of monopoly like Microsoft. This
seemed to be an input to him from the Information Kerala Mission.

The half an hour dialogue was fruitful and he apparently asked whether
there were anyone in or around Thiruvananthapuram, who could be
consulted.

I used this opportunity to stress on the need for an introduction of
"Migration Policy" for software technology, so that any decision could
be revoked later in greater interest of the Public.

Would someone volunteer ? Currently he is touring in US and would return
after a couple of weeks.

CK Raju,
KILA
