[fsug-bangalore] FSF in Schools

[Krishnakumar G]

Thanks Sajith.
So if i understood right,
1) Create awareness for free software
2) Get schools /colleges/instituions to use free software

Is there any plan to develop some new software which can be helpful in
achieving the two points above?

Cheers,
Krishna
