Friends, As our society becomes increasingly dependent on digital structures and processes, software as a basic building principle of such digital structures and processes becomes an important factor determining the nature of society.
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has significant benefits for society from political, equity, socio-cultural, pedagogical and economic considerations. (For more information and FOSS and Why FOSS, you could visit http://www.public-software.in). We would therefore like to appeal to all the political parties to include support for FOSS in their election manifestos. If you think you would like to participate in this appeal, please visit http://public-software.in/FOSS-manifesto to enlist your support to this cause. Please email cont...@public-software.in <mailto:cont...@public-software.in> in case you need any clarifications. regards, Gurumurthy for Network of FOSS community in India (http://FOSSCOM.in) -- Gurumurthy Kasinathan IT for Change Bridging Development Realities and Technological Possibilities Tel:98454 37730 www.ITforChange.net http://Public-Software.in http://India.IS-Watch.net http://IS-Watch.net http://content-commons.in *IT for Change is an NGO in Special Consultative Status with United Nations’ Economic and Social Council* -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
