Hello Rakesh, I have got the opportunity of being in touch with some Ramakrishna Mission Mahrajs for some times now. After noticing your post - I have forwarded the same to a Maharaj and he advised me that it would be better to contact with your presentation to General Secretarty of RKM as these things comes under his purview. You can do the same from "http://www.belurmath.org/contactus.php"; this page by choosing "THE GENERAL SECRETARY" in "Mail to" tab. I also thought about doing the same but as I'm not from "Computer" back ground so opt not to do so. Hugely appreciate your efforts though. If RKM opted for FOSS then that could actually helps FOSS making more penetration in our daily digital life.
