[FSF India] Possible OpenAcademic Action

[Raj Singh]

Perhaps something on these lines should be adopted by the academic
community in India too. I expect IITs/IISc/IIITs would need to take the
lead.

============

We seek to --

* develop interoperable, open pedagogical software that can be used for
teaching and learning over the Net, and for which its code can be viewed
and extended by anyone in the public interest;

* be a platform for the use of that software for the production of rich,
open educational content;

* develop new means of open academic research. 

=============

Picked the above from http://www.opencode.org/, which is a consortium
of entrepreneurial people and institutions wanting to create a space for
open software, open research, and open content.
