Story: Millions in India to get OpenOffice

•

Today, almost all software and operating systems and websites in India are
in the English language. Since English is a language spoken by less than 10
percent of India's population (generally considered to be the language of
the affluent) language is a significant barrier for the other 90 percent of
India.

This is creating a new class of people who live in what can be called as
"Information Poverty" even as technology becomes cheaper and cheaper. To
destroy this barrier we need to create a national-level, collaborative
effort to localise Linux to Indian languages.

The task undertaken by CDAC team( formerly NCST) especially Mr RKVS Raman is really amirable.
As an alumni of the same Institute, I have seen these people working really hard to get the project done.
I appreciate Mr Raman's work and wish him all the best.
