FREE software is ideal for a country such as India, especially in the e-governance area, according to Mr Richard Stallman, free software evangelist and author of the GNU operating system around the Linux kernel.

He was here in India to present a paper on “Free software and relevance to India”. The GNU/Linux system (wrongly referred to as the Linux OS, Mr Stallman pointed out) has some practical advantages such as offering huge costs savings over proprietary operating systems. The Governments can make as many copies as they want without having to pay.

More importantly, the software is `free’ in that the source code is available to users to make any modifications that they want. The source code also makes it possible for users to check for Trojan horses and viruses. “Most security experts recommend the use of free software for this reason,” Mr Stallman said. Also, there is no fear that the system will store away information for future use.

“Today, the State Governments are talking of making computers and the Internet available throughout the country. What they save on software costs can be used to buy more computers,” Mr Stallman said.

GNU/Linux also worked equally well on old, castaway models of PCs, which means the investment in hardware too could be minimal, he said.

Moreover, users can tinker with the system to learn computer science on the job, as it were, as GNU/Linux allows users to see the source code and make changes, and add features. To Mr Stallman, the freedom associated with GNU/Linux is part of his personal and political beliefs.

“I care about freedom, community and the welfare state. Proprietary software encourages an ugly social system, where nobody wants to share with their friends,” he said. Despite its pluses, GNU/Linux had not taken off, he admitted because of what he called “inertia”. Besides, “we didn’t have a graphical desktop for desktop users,” he said. Now, there was one, called the GNOME.

Brazil and Argentina moved to GNU/Linux because of threats from proprietary software owners, he said. There is a project on in Andhra where kiosks are using GNU/Linux. Mr Stallman had also spoken to the Karnataka IT Secretary, Mr Vivek Kulkarni, advocating free software.

Microsoft, Karnataka govt ink MoU on e-governance

Bangalore, Sept 24: The Karnataka government on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Microsoft India to usher in “paperless office” by introducing e-governance in various departments of the state government.

Letters of intent outlining the terms of the agreement were exchanged between the two parties, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy said.

A pilot project on paperless functioning which had been initiated in the IT-BT Department of the State Government was expected to be completed by next week, he said.

The project would be extended to other departments subsequent to the completion in the IT-BT department.

There would be no financial cost involved in implementation of the project, he said.

The e-governance process would see the application of the principles of Microsoft, Kumaraswamy said.

Bangalore, Sept. 24 What’s next in e-governance for Karnataka? Microsoft has ideas and initiatives up its sleeve, even as the paperless office system of administration is getting ready to be rolled out in a few weeks’ time.

Microsoft Corporation India on Monday extended a letter of intent for an e-governance project to the Karnataka Government. An efficient and transparent system of public administration is the proposed outcome.

The State Government, according to the letter of intent, could rope in Microsoft Corporation India, especially Microsoft Consultancy Services (a team of global consultants), for furthering the use of information technology for better delivery of services, particularly in the remote corners of the State.

Digital course The Government will explore the possibility of deploying Microsoft applications in the fields of education, government-citizen (G2C) delivery services, e-governance, management information systems, and initiation of a paper-less office system of administration, the letter said.

“We want to go beyond just a paperless office,” said Mr Rohit Kumar, Country Head, Public Sector, Microsoft India, speaking to Business Line. In a paperless office, the flow of files between various departments of the Government is automated, and the monitoring, tracking of progress of files, is made easier by going digital.

Now, the company wants to improve the information flow, which will lead to better productivity. “The Karnataka Government has a mature level of e-governance implementation. We want to take the next step,” he said.

Education: MoU signed The company has introduced an education programme to help train students. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Board for Information Technology Education Standards’ (BITES) to begin a seven month long training programme, part of the Microsoft Education Alliance Program.

BITES is an autonomous non-profit society set up by the Government of Karnataka, the IT industry, and academia. Mr Jean-Philippe Courtois, President, Microsoft International, was present on the occasion.

He leads sales, marketing and services for all regions outside the US and Canada and directs the company’s engagement with Governments around the globe.

Microsoft will also provide access to its latest developer tools and select beta products to students and will also set up a portal for lecturers to share and communicate with other faculty worldwide under the ‘Faculty Connection initiative’.

A trainers’ training programme will also be conducted by the company.

Log out of Microsoft tie-up, say open software advocates

Log out of Microsoft tie-up, say open software advocates

Bageshree S.

http://www.hindu.com/2007/10/12/stories/2007101254810600.htm

Bangalore: The Letter of Intent signed by the Karnataka government with Microsoft to establish paperless offices is drawing criticism from advocates of Free and Open Source Software (Free as in freedom). They have started a campaign against it on the on the web page, http: //savekannada. googlepages.com.

The argument of the propagators of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is two-fold. The first is on what they call Microsoft’s “blunders in Kannada utilities in its operating systems,” which have resulted in inaccuracies in language usage. The second and larger argument concerns the ideological question on allowing a monopoly software giant to grip “the government in its stranglehold.”

Hari Prasad Nadig, an engineer who has worked extensively on localisation of software to the Kannada context, says that Microsoft provided buggy Kannada font in its earlier operating system “XP,” and the new edition “Vista” had several problems. “The Language Interface Pack (LIP) provided for Kannada on XP was filled with inaccuracies. Language inaccuracies had been pointed out by thousands of Kannada software engineers from several on-line communities, but Microsoft did not take up enough corrective measures,” he adds. “For example, the rendering is broken for words like ‘software’ or ‘pratishtita’ even in ‘Vista’. Vista also comes with DRM (Digital Rights Management), an access control technology which virtually spies on the users.”

N.A.M. Ismail, an avid Kannada blogger, says that using a “lock in” system such as Microsoft creates a long-term dependence. FOSS allows access to the source code and permits users to use, change, and improve the software. “Once a consumer uses Microsoft products for generating, collecting and processing data, it is difficult for the consumer to migrate to another software and has to spend a lot of money for upgrades. The government will find it hard to transfer the data onto other operating systems and would also be spending substantial amounts of taxpayer’s money on upgrades,” says Mr. Ismail.

SINCE 2004, GoK has not made any attempt to correct the problems of Kannada Software Development, even with 1000 letters to GoK.

BARAHA Fonts has DESTROYED the KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT in KARNATAKA STATE.

BARAHA FONTS is COPIED by NUDI Fonts by Kannada Ganaka Parishat and then KGP sold it to Govt. of Karnataka for 29 Lakhs.

Is this what we want ? Be TRUTHFUL in telling KANNADIGAS.

Bring this to open first !!!

Dear Mr. Acharya,

I had written to you On June 13th, 2004 about INCOMPATIBLE KANNADA SOFTWARE being used in GoK. You had promptly responded to me on June 15th, 2004. Both the copies of the emails are appended here for you and all in the email to read. You had written that you have referred this issue to Secretary of egovernance of GoK.

What did he do? NOTHING. egovSec went to make his deals with NISG, CMS / RAMINFO TECH and adopting CAG slammed project eSeva for Bangalore One Project. WHAT A WAY TO HANDLE THINGS FOR GOK !!

NISG has to take most of the blame for all the things that are happenning in eGov of INDIA.

This eGov Sec of GoK does not have regard for KANNADA Language. He is interested in deals to be made as quickly as possible. He does not know how long he is going to stay as eGov Sec ofGOK !! MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUNSHINES !!!

WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW NOTHING ? Please read the following and also rely from CM of Karnataka State.

Now GOK Secretaries EXPERTS COMMITTEE and EMPOWERED COMMITTEE of GOK gone ahead with BANGALORE ONE Project also which in itself is a FRAUD ON PEOPLE OF BANAGLORE CITY and KARNATAKA STATE. Please go through this URL. It might save lots of time for lots of peopel in Karnataka State.

Many depts yet to complete e-governance projects

Software mismatch makes communication impossible

Nagesh Prabhu

Sixty-two departments have taken up e-governance projects at a cost of Rs. 179.93 crores.
Only 17 departments have completed their projects. Projects are in initial stage in 10 departments.
Each department opted for its own brand of software that is not compatible with that in other offices.

Bangalore : E-governance and computerization are yet to be completed in many government departments and agencies despite spending huge sums of money on them in the past five years and concomitant publicity.

Sixty-two government departments have taken up e-governance projects since 1995-96 at a cost of Rs. 179.93 crores for achieving the goals of efficiency, transparency and citizen-friendly interface. Of them, only 17 departments have completed their projects. The projects are at the completion stage in four departments and at the initial stage in 10 departments. Some progress has been made in 26 departments. There is, however, no information about the projects in five departments, according to official records.

In their eagerness to catch up with the latest trends in information technology, each departments opted for its own brand of Kannada software that is not compatible with that in other offices.

Departments / Directorates such as Women and Child Welfare, Economic and Statistics, Kannada and Culture, Secondary Education, Bangalore Mahanagara Palike have used “Nudi” software,

while Social Welfare and Employment and Training went in for “Nudi” and “Kairali” software.

While the Bangalore Urban Water Supply and Sewerage Board has used “Leep”, software,

the Excise Department had adopted ISM.

The Karnataka High Court and Port and Inland Water Transport department have used “Surabhi” software.

The Karnataka Legal Services Authority has used “Surabhi” and “Srilipi” software.

The Gulbarge Municipal Corporation has used “Lipi” software.

The Directorate of Translation has used “Akrati” and “Kannada Padma” software.

As a result, collection of data and reporting from one department to another is almost impossible, and the entire works has to be done all over again. If e-governance is to effective, individual application programmes should be able to communicate with those of the other departments. Inter-operability of e-governance projects is of vital importance if citizens are to benefit from information technology, say experts in e-governance.

Most of the departments have given consultancy to companies such as C-DAC, Wipro Infotech, HCL, Keonics, Zenith Computers, Excel software, TCL Limited, and Crest Technologies for software.

The Chief Minister, N. Dharam Singh has acknowledged the delay in the completion of e-governance projects.

He said in the Legislative Assembly recently he will take steps for their early completion. Many legislators argued that crores of rupees have been spent on e-governance projects but to no avail.

Subject: Kannada Software Development, GoK, eGovernance, Kannadigas, Karnataka

Hello GoK PRSecretaries, Secretaries, DYSecretaries and others,

This is request from Kannadigas of Karnataka and all over the world. Kannada should be used in all Departments of GoK. Is this happenning ? Is Development work of Kannada Software heading in the right direction? This is a request fro all of you to look into. Here are some of the information provided for your file. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

All GoK Departemnts should be using the same software and networking systems.

eGovernance of GoK needs to look into the Development of Kannada Software. This is not going properly. Even though Bangalore being IT Capital.

Has eGovernance checked why Kannada Developers are not coming forward with new products?

NUDI Kannada Software is the property of GoK. Since it was funded by GoK.

GoK sponsored Nudi software must be made Open Source Software (OSS). NUDI should be made UNICODE compatible in all avenues. Not in one item as it is now. GoK need to do this immedately without wasting any time.

WHY eGovernance has not recomended NUDI Software to be Open Source Software (OSS) ? This helps all Kannadigas to develop further the Kannada Software, SO THAT GoK can have better programs for a smooth networking of all Departments of GoK.

DOES eGovernance know problems with NUDI SOFTWARE? Some of them are listed here for the benefit of GoK.

a. NUDI breaks the GOI standard when arkavattu is involved. NUDI has problem in Export to IISCII.

b. Nudi just has a Unicode compatible keyboard driver which works only on Windows XP (and on Windows 2000, if there is a Kannada Opentype font present)
Nudi’s editor has a feature “Save As Unicode”. But the file saved as Unicode can not be opend again by Nudi. In other words, Nudi’s editor can not edit a Unicode document.

c. Nudi does not provide opentype font which is required for rendering Kannada Unicode text.

d. There is no bi-lingual font standard for Kannada. Does eGovernance know this?

e. Nudi follows GoK standard in these areas-

monolingual truetye font glyph set
keyboard layout
save as HTML
Nudi’s non-standard features are-
Nudi contains a bi-lingual truetype font which is not as per any standard
Nudi’s Save As ISCII breaks the Govt of India standard when arkavattu is involved.
Nudi uses a scheme called Kannada Script Code for Language Processing (KSCLP) for sorting, which is not as per any standard. But the fact is that this KSCLP is a good solution for Kannada Sorting. This should be in the Public Domain.

f. Nudi has just a keyboard driver for Unicode which works only on Windows XP and 2003. Windows XP and 2003 have built-in support for Unicode making the Unicode feature of Nudi redundant. Nudi does not provide opentype font which is required for rendering Kannada Unicode text. Nudi’s Software Development Kit (SDK) does not support Unicode.

Egample: Type some text in Kannada using Nudi 4. Save it as Unicode. Then open the same file again in Nudi 4. It shows it as junk. Nudi cannot display a Kannada Unicode text file created by XP or Linux. That means Nudi’s Unicode support is of no use.

g. There is a difference between Freeware and Free Software. Nudi is a Freeware but not a Free Software. As per GNU, Free Software is the one where the source code is also available in public domain. Nudi’s source code is not available in public domain. It is not an opensource software. Only binary (executable) of Nudi is free. If you are a software expert, found some bugs in Nudi (there are many) and want to correct them, then you can not do so.

NUDI is not in conformity with the G.O for the following:
1. Nudi developed using non-standard proprietory encoding which is not a standard.
2. Nudi uses the modified ISCII standard (ISCII is a national standard).
3. Nudi does not provide any conversion utility to convert the data created using the other existing Kannada software.
4. Nudi does not provide conversion utility to convert between the data created in the standard glyphs and the ISCII.

    Kannada Linux enthusiasts and developers are requesting for the source code of Nudi from

    last three years. They are needing the source code of Nudi for implementing the keyboard

    driver and the sorting algorithm. This helps Kannada Software to be developed in a different

platform.

Kannadigas are complaining that fonts issued along with Nudi are not of professional quality, there is not support mechanism for Nudi, Nudi has many bugs, etc.

Kannadigas and Developers feel IF Nudi is made OSS, passionate developers can fix the bugs in Nudi.

From reading all the information provided, one can come to conclusion that;

All the above has done damage to Kannada software development.

We all need to promote more Kannada Software developers to come forward for the benefit of GoK and make it more open. THIS HELPS GoK also.

Literally, there can be a Kannada version for every software in English. All of you please think why there are many software in English and why not in Kannada or any Indian Language. It is the business (need or anticipated need) which drives the development. How one can expect the development, WHEN KANNADA Software development is monopolised?

If any of you has any questions on this, Please write to me. ATLEAST some of you must look into these problems that are created here and try to correect it.

Thanks

Sincerely

V. M. Kumaraswamy
