I am personally seraching for details on free software companies in
India.. a webpage would have helped me eight now! We do need to implement
these asap. I volunteer with Kanti too!

I have sent Arun a list already - will send an updated ersion on this list
asap.

I emailed Khuzaima Lakdwala about this - his advocacy plan would fit in
well with this. But we MUST have a website with complete details on
whatever we speak of ready; we can then direct people there for all the
info they need. As KLAK put it, we'd be a laughing stock among people like
college professors and principals if we don't have _at least_ a website to
back up our plans.

Can someone provide any links or notes on this. I'd like to work on this.
