Company to open centre of excellence

,----[ Quote ]
| As a “professional open source” product, JBoss claims many unique features 
| that contribute to faster application development, more maintainable code and 
| high scalability in comparison to its proprietary rivals.  
| 
| The company asserts that JBoss enterprise applications are more 
| cost-effective than those of competing middleware. 
| 
| A press note here said JBoss would be ideal for States such as Kerala whose 
| information technology policy sought to promote free and open-source software 
| (FOSS). It was particularly suited for e-governance applications.

Latha Jishnu: Opening Windows to software freedom

,----[ Quote ]
| But it was also a meeting of high passion where the creator of the GNU-Linux 
| free operating system threw open the windows to the wide world of software 
| freedom — and its politics. I have heard him several times since then, at the 
| World Social Forum in Mumbai, at meetings organised by his fan following. But 
| his message has always been the same: seek freedom by throwing off the 
| shackles of patented software.     
|  
| Last week, Stallman was in India to celebrate the FSF’s triumphs in one 
| corner of the country where his philosophy has been taken to heart. This is 
| Kerala, where the India chapter of FSF has been instrumental in getting the 
| 12,500 state-run high schools to switch to free software over a two-year 
| period.

Adventures with Neko

| Recently, a few of us had a discussion about translating the book to 
| Malayalam. GNU/Linux is now available in a lot of schools - and a local 
| language version would be a boon to many smart kids who are capable of 
| learning things by themselves.

The Story of Free Software in Kerala, India

,----[ Quote ]
| We saw how Free Software has come to stay in Kerala. The natural question 
| this raises is, “Why Kerala?” There is no other state in the country where 
| Free Software has made an impact that is anywhere near that in Kerala.
