[FSUG-Bangalore] [Fwd: [fosscom] Letter to be sent to Karnataka education secretary]

[vinay ವಿನಯ್]

Hello All,

We have been having some discussions on the foss coalition list about a 
campaign in Karnataka.
(Please see here to join - 
http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in )

The details are here -

 In 2005-05 Microsoft entered into an MoU with Karnataka government to set-up three academies in Karnataka, where the 
 curriculum includes only Microsoft products. These academies are set-up  on public(government) land and train government teachers on MS products 
 only. This is clearly a problem and hence we want to write to the  government, and make sure they do not renew the MoU when it comes up for 
 renewal this year. This letter also requests that the government take a  firm stand in promoting and using FOSS. 

Thought of sharing this with FSUG as well.The letter is attached with this email

Thanks,
Vinay.
