Recently I have visited an effort in using FOSS for education -- I
have been reading about this for some time. I will be sending a report
of the place I visited pretty soon and we can discuss how the vichaar
initiative can be tied up to to that and similar ventures
In the meantime, here are two good resource-filled articles on 'why
FOSS should be used in education': do read and go through the links:
