<div><font color="#000099">I have some queries with respect to the above mail.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#000099"><strong>1</strong>. It was mentioned in Anivar's mail that "</font><em><font color="#000000">Even the decision to adopt Free Software in<br></font></em><a href="http://mm.gnu.org.in/mailman/listinfo/fsf-friends"><em><font color="#3333ff">IT at School</font></em></a><font color="#000099"><font color="#000000"><em> was decided in an SCERT meeting (with the support of 85% of<br>
teachers) much before 2006 elections</em>.</font>" . What efforts did the Free Software Social Movement do to make this process in action thereby qualifying itself to be called a "Movement" ?</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099"></font> </div>
<div><font color="#000099"><strong>2</strong>. In the above mail it is quoted "</font><font color="#000099"><em><font color="#000000">Here the initial part is schooling, which is fast maturing<br>through Free Software initiatives</font>."</em> Can you mention few such initiatives to get a better picture ?</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>3</strong>. <font color="#000099">How can the rogue thinking be shown the exit door, when even the students who are taught Free Software are also not fully aware of the Freedom values and the humanistic aspect of Free Software above the profit oriented aspect of Proprietary Software? After just learning FreeSoftware mechanically and not translating that to the level of Free Software creators or technical knowledge, they would be again going to the world of Proprietary Software for jobs, and hence needing to learn the Proprietary Software tools burying their Free Software knowledge.?</font> <font color="#000099">If there is any initiatives by the Free Software Movement in Kerala in the schools regarding creating awareness and campaigning kindly mention.<br>
