Dear Sir,
Though this will be a out-off-topic : free beer others too, are
available in every meeting / presentations / product launches, given
by corporate companies, almost every month ! (sometimes we have to
attend friday, saturday sunday too)
Ask any friend who is working in IT HW/SW,
Why dont we get in touch with some media house and raise our concern
immediately?
(I see 2 more threads on this subject. Request everyone to stick to
this thread so that we dont lose track.)

Friends.
On Jun 18, 2011 TamilNadu Govt announced a Tender for
9 lakh free laptops for the students.
Here is the Tender Notice :
http://www.tenders.tn.gov.in/pubnowtend/uploaded/TD_elc58921_tn_laptop_scheme.pdf
Operating System : Preloaded Dual booting - Windows starter edition
with Anti Virus for
1 year license and Linux.
If the windows costs min 1000 INR,
9,00,000 * 1,000 = 90,00,00,000
90 Cr rupees will be given to Microsoft.
If we use Gnu/Linux, we can save the 90Cr.

My thoughts on this subject
a.ELCOT is already aware of FOSS benefits.
b.Role of voluntary organisation like us is very limited
c.Since this is going to be a business decision which involves not only
software but such other things like service support etc. only commercial
entities can do
Hi
May a mass mailing to cmc...@tn.gov.in to go for fully Linux laptops?
I used to get few things done (like repair of roads) by sending
complaints to this Chief Minister's ID. Of course, those were the
times of Ms Jayalalitha's previous tenure, things were prompt.
Maybe we could give a try in

I think it would definitely be beneficial to have the meetings with

If such a thing happens, you will end up making a political mistake of
giving Useless systems to school children and cheating people. The
opposition would argue that why can't government give good systems by
spending just extra 1K for a 20-30K product and instead cheat people in
giving
What I meant here is: Nobody (children) would dream of playing games in a
Linux system and would surely try to get their systems Game Compatible
