I do not understand why the public funded BOSS distribution, or Linux distro used in Kerala IT mission cannot be scaled and contributed by the Indian FOSS community ? Guess, people like to develop for greater good (read Debian, Ubuntu and so on). I also happen to know a very active FOSS user who uses heavily localised Debian (in Malayalam) , you can catch him in FSUG Calicut mailing list. Back to the point of discussion. What is the point of Hamara Linux ? I fail to see the perceived mission, objective of the above mentioned in its site. '*Work without vision* is drudgery.
