After stabilising Suse linux, ELCOT has started deploying Ubuntu linux side by side. Ubuntu's latest offering (July 08) is simply the best. It enables automatic download, configuration and updating of the system. No need for tech. skill. One needs internet connection to install any new software requirement. Ubuntu's servers (free service) do the entire job for the user! Great experience indeed. Umashankar

I am a directly recruited IAS officer of 1990 batch. Apologies for my poor English accent. The video was taken without any rehearsal. To bring in a change such as linux in Indian government, English accent may be necessary but it is not the only requirement. Thanks. Umashankar

Thanks for the good comments. Our focus is CHANGE in Government. We made a huge splash so far. Only the future will tell whether the huge splash is a success as well. Umashankar

This was not our focus. Pl look at the focus of the video. Linux / OSS implementation in Government and large organisations is the focus.

There is nothing fake about his accent. He is a professional hired for the job.

We find Windows a strange operating system. After using linux for two years, Ms-windows appears to be a kid stuff. It is an annoying OS (everyone will get this feeling after using linux OS for a few months)

After two years of linux implmentation, ELCOT has proved to the world that a large enterprise can indeed run with 100% linux, be it in desktop, servers, state wide area network or even mainframe server powered data centre. Now ELCOT has started loading Ubuntu linux as second operating system. Ubuntu is an outstanding OS. ELCOT also has opened 30 training centres powered by 1200 linux (Suse & Ubuntu) laptops. Target: training 20000 Government officials in 2008-09.

I love it! The quirkiness makes it fun and interesting. The accents were fun to listen to. And all these people are doing a great favor for the world. That public official will be famous, as he is saving the taxpayers a lot of their hard-earned money. I wish China had even just one of this kind of official. 5*! |
