> Hi all,
>
> After the voluntary retirement of Dr. S. P. Mudur as Director of
NCST (National Centre for Software Technology), no new director has
been appointed. Dr Arora, Director of CDAC has been given the
additional charge as Director of NCST. There is a move to merge NCST
with CDAC. If this happens, all the good works done towards public
domain free software initiatives of NCST (Indian Language Linux,
OpenOffice, etc)will come to a standstill. This is quite obvious as
CDAC wants to make money by selling Indian language fonts, keyboard
drivers, office suits, etc (they are funded by Govt, is another
matter).
