,----[ Quote ]
| Government probably should be told that CDAC

| BOSS [i.e. Bharat Operating System Solutions].

Fragmentation is Good and Bad for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux already has a unified base: itâs called
| upstream components. An Embedded Linux OS,
| just like an enterprise Linux OS, is comprised
| of core upstream components like the Linux
| kernel. First, at the kernel level â where
| most hardware support happens including all
| driver support â the Linux ecosystem is
| extremely unified. Device makers or silicon
| suppliers that wish to support their hardware
| with Linux - whatever the variety - simply
| contribute code to the mainline Linux kernel
| project hosted at kernel.org. Use a mainline
| kernel and you are using the right base.
| Recently Google has been working with the
| kernel community to ensure their drivers are
| in the mainline kernel and great progress has
| been made to âunifyâ Android with the mainline
| kernel.

Assam government includes FOSS in state IT policy
,----[ Quote ]
| Yet another Indian state government made
| open source an integral part of its state IT
| policy. The policy is because it mandates
| open standards and ODF, in particular, which
| has been advocated open source supporters
| the open standard for office documents
| (instead of Microsoft's proprietary .doc,
| OOXML and other data formats). It also
| extends beyond software and says that all
| generic hardware purchased by the government
| should have support for open source
| software. The section mandating that source
| code developed for any State Government body
| shall be duly archived in a repository,
| indicates that the policy makers also
| understand the power of the open source
| development model. Overall, it is a good
| policy and worth forwarding to all the
| government policy makers that we are in
| touch with.
