The Kerala Legislative Assembly[1]
(Kerala state , India) as of July 17, 2014 produces
all its documentation, both printed and digital, on
a Free Software platform using Libreoffice
. Hon. Speaker announced in Legislative assembly
yesterday . The point which makes this
undertaking unique is the fact that the complete
documentation at the Niyamasabha is done in
Malayalam, a complex text indic scipt
The migration process is implemented with the support
of Zyxware Technologies[2] in association with
ICFOSS[3], a govt centre to promote foss and
Swathanthra Malayalam Computing(SMC)[4] , a FOSS
developer community working on Indian Language support
and localizations.
Some media reports about the same is published in
vernacular language press and it is available here

The migration was in the light of Government of
Kerala's recent order announced its intention to
transition computers in the Departments, institutions
and PSUs under it to Free and Open Source platforms, in
the opportunity caused due to expiry of support period
to Windows XP. [5]
International centre for free and open source software(ICFOSS) has brought out a Handbook last month to support the process of migration [6]
