Re: [Indic-computing-users] Indic solution for *Government Distro*

[Jaco A. <jai...@fs...>]

Hello Karunakar,

The *Government Distro* is based on Debian. In the future we hopefully
will have versions in other distros, as long as they are free...!  ;-) 

The only requisite for any software component of this *Government
Distro*, to be included in this *Government Distro*, is that it is
*already* being used by any Public Sector Government in the world. So
for example, it is composed by www.linex.org , which is Debian and Gnome
based, and being used today by the Public School system in the state of
Extremadura, Spain, in 60,000 schools!.    :-)

It also has other software components from Brasil and Argentina, and we
will like to include some other software components from India and China
if possible for the first release...

A software component can be code like a router (Ututo R router, being
used in Argentinian schools), customization features like the one
*LinEx* has, or even application packages, like Government purchasing,
Accounting, Tax collection, which as for today we do not have anything,
but hopefully through the time, with the collective cooperation of
several hackers working for free Governments projects, we may have a
collective plataform which may fill the basic needs of many governments
worldwide.  

We are releasing the first version until August, but anyone can have
access to todays version if he/she can help our developing team who is
leaded by Marlon Dutra.

Best,

Jaco
