[susmit shannigrahi]

Not directly related to Fedora..and not that this article provides you
something new..
But worth taking a look. It's good to see that people are discussing
and advocating FLOSS.

'Here are two links

1. http://www.anandabazar.com/11bus2.htm
This is from a Bangla newspaper (A Indian regional language And
Official language of Bangladesh).
I am not translating the whole article..

It says that IT minister of West Bengal advocated for FLOSS and
encourges using Linux
in schools,colleges.He hopes that this reduction in cost will produce
more manpower and increase the reach of technology and will take
technology to a wider audience.


2. The second one is from The statesman.Titled: Digital freedom structured.

"Sometime ago, Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation was
quoted in the Associated Press as saying, "Proprietary software
companies hand out free copies for the same reason that cigarette
companies give sample packs to college kids ~ to encourage addiction."
