A note from India

I often monitor Indian sites for free software news, a natural enough inclination given the importance that the Indian scene has for the world of free software (the FSF has three chapters, one is in India). So, here is a reasonably interesting article from the Indian portal rediff.com - mainly for some numbers it provides on the speed at which Microsoft fixes bugs. Articles like this, which constitute a form of advocacy for free and open source in the Indian business world, need to be monitored as a crucial indicator of which way that part of the world will go. On a related note, I really dig the sincerity of the FSF India site. Do check it out. I really wish Indian bloggers would pay it more attention, and help them in getting the word out.
