[Reader-list] Request to sign FOSS manifesto for India

[Anivar Aravind]

Dear Friends,

The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community has published a
manifesto requesting Indian political parties to make FOSS usage and
promotion a central part of the IT, e-government and education plans.

FOSS is a powerful enabler for spreading education and opportunity to
all peoples. With its collaborative knowledge model, FOSS can effect
change and transparency in India. Supporting this petition is one
small step in the right direction.

The manifesto is up as a public petition at:
