Hi Prabhat Sir, This revolution has to start from Colleges (moreover from Schools).We need to conduct some kinds of awareness programs....Seminars....Knowledge Sharing Sessions....And the list must go on to make people aware about the Open Source.... Even the condition is very pathetic in Corporate world. I would like to quote one instance: I am working in HCL (for Dixons & Teradyne).We have an application called CIPAF running on a Linux server set up by a open source guy in 2000.Since the nno one knew how to operate that server.Few months back, somehow the server crashed. No one knew anything about the linux so even the senior technical heads were not able to get the server up again. Then is came to me and it took about 3 months for me to get that server up and back into production.just because no one had any information about how it operates.That was so bad. The open source application CIPAF is amazing one.Here also i found the creator of the application was lost somewhere. Everyone here knows the strength of Linux and open source but lots of trained people are required to show the world strength of Linux and to guide others to learn and use Linux.In our office many people have started using Linux like Ubuntu,Fedora ,Redhat and Others. Even in Cisco The New IP Telephony Products (called Cisco Call Manager ) are all linux based.When i installed them i was able to see that it was running some old version of redhat and other open source linux.Only the name was replaced with Cisco.I told this to our managers and they all were amused to see that. We need to train young people to practice Linux.We are all ready to join hand togather for this.
