Freedom movement

,----[ Quote ]
| With over 1,200 students participating, the 
| conference exhibited the language of free 
| software while not losing sight of the purely 
| technical aspects of GNU/Linux. Coding 
| sessions, handled by experts in GNU/Linux-
| based programming, exposed students to the 
| free software culture that thrives in the 
| Linux User Groups â popularly called Lugs, 
| these form the basic units of the free 
| software movement â in academic institutions 
| and among software professionals across the 
| country.

Open Source: Modernizing India's education system

,----[ Quote ]
| Over the last few years, open source adoption
| has been growing within India's education
| system. Five years ago, the South Indian state
| of Kerala, pioneered open source in schools
| with its famous IT@Schools project, that now
| covers three million students from the 5th-10
| standards, involves 200,000 teachers across
| 4071 schools. Since then, other Indian states
| like Karnataka, Gujarat, Assam, West Bengal
| and others have made open source a key part of
| their school education initiatives.
