Dear Friends, Free Software Movement of India (FSMI) is organizing the First National Convention for Academics and Research (NCAR-2010) for spreading awareness of Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FOSS / FLOSS), provide for a platform for sharing of experiences and views in its use in Academia/Research communities and to foster a collaborative approach to education in developing and improving educational aids including software tools. It is estimated that more than 1000 Researchers, Academic personnel from various national universities and organizations like IITs, IISc, IIIT's and other state level Engineering Colleges and Universities from all states, Industry and Government bodies and public sector organisations will participate. The conference aims to focus on the FOSS based research and evangelisation of the same. The FOSS paradigm gives us an opportunity to emerge as a serious research community with global co-operation. This would enable the bridging of the gap between research-industry and societal demands. An integration for research between academia and industry is not up to the mark as it is in the case of developed nations. This conference shall also provide space for Industry to place their requirements before the researchers to facilitate the reach of the academia and institutions at large. All are requested to give this news wide coverage through exhibiting in their sites, circulating to others and communicating to friends and relatives. Those academicians and researchers who are interested to participate either as observers, presenting papers, offering demonstration or tutorials on education tools are requested to register at the site referred above. Students are also welcome to demonstrate or offer tutorials for any education tools. Regards Sooraj Kenoth Zyxware Technologies "Be the Change You Wish to See in the World", M. K.
