Maybe you need to write an open letter to Mammooty Fans Association  
showing how it is better to combat computer illiteracy using free  
software.

We got clarity of who is doing what. Now we have to talk to the Fans
Association and we can even try to get Mammootty associated with Free
Software if he is sincere about his committment to supporting causes
for social welfare.

 Microsoft will be signing up Malayalam movie star Mammootty as one of
 the brand ambassadors for the Computer Literacy programme that is to
 be organized soon in Kerala, a Southern Indian State well known for
 its pro-free software policies.

 Read, Sign and Share the letter at

 Also digg the story

 Vote the story
 http://www.fsdaily.com/Community/Open_Letter_To_Mammooty

Mammootty's office has reponded to the open letter.

This is in response to the fire ignited by free software lovers of the
state against Mammootty's alleged association with Microsoft for the
Computer Literacy Programme for computer illiterates of Kerala.

In this regard Mammootty would like to make it clear that Mammootty is
in no way a part of the project. Mammootty has in no way associated
with Microsoft nor held any discussions with them. Mammootty Fans and
Welfare Association  Microsoft are envisaging the Project. As a
person Mammootty is against any kind of monopoly in any area.
