In a country with a long history of corporate problems and financial issues, the inexpensive and flexible nature of open source software is gaining a lot of ground. “Two years ago, New Delhi said the best way to improve computer literacy in India was to adopt open source software in schools. Although Kerala is the first to introduce such a program statewide, 18 of India’s 28 states either are using Linux or have pilot projects for its use in various government departments and schools. The education ministries in most states, and in Delhi the federal ministries of defense, transport, communication, and health, are all using the software on server computers.

i love the concept of open source technologies. i love it even more when its applied to non-software applications. in this case, prosthetics. it’s unreal to know that “state of the art” prosthetics for upper torso’s haven’t really changed since the early 1900’s. i’m glad to see some reform in this area.
