The '''Akshaya project''', first started in the rural [[Malappuram]] district of [[Kerala]], [[India]], and now spread over to seven more districts in the state was the first district-wide [[Computer_literacy|e-literacy]] project in India and one of the largest known [[Internet Protocol]] (IP) based [[wireless networks]] in the world. In November [[2002]], the state government of Kerala put into place a project, piloted in Malappuram, that aimed for one person in every family to be computer literate in that district. Malappuram is now what is said to be India's First E-literate District. The mission continues to make Kerala the First E-literate state in India.

In Malappuram district alone, Akshaya has conducted one of the world's largest computer literacy drives, claiming to reach over 600,000 households, representing more than 3.6 million people, in less than 6 months. The project has created a unique brand of state-funded computer access centers, and simultaneously led to a massive wireless infrastructure, providing a wide range of services and making way to many future opportunities.

Bangalore Linux User Group

2005-06-22T11:31:24Z

59.145.147.146:

The Bangalore Linux User Group is probably India's best known [[Open Source]] group.

Formed in 1997, it jumped into the public eye with its participation at [[Bangalore IT.COM]] '99 - then India's largest and most prominent technology event. The Government of Karnataka, correctly guessing that [[Linux]] and Open Source would play a major role in the years to come, gave the BLUG an entire pavilion of its own, where it exhibited Linux-based machines showing various applications, under the motto "Seeing is believing". This participation was a huge success, drawing people's attention to the then-nascent operating system, and earning the pavilion the title of "Crown Jewel of Bangalore IT.COM".

Over the years, the BLUG participated in a number of technology events, and in 2001 facilitated India's largest Open Source event - [[Linux Bangalore]]. [http://linux-bangalore.org/2001 Linux Bangalore/2001] (and its sequels - [http://linux-bangalore.org/2002 Linux Bangalore/2002], [http://linux-bangalore.org/2003 Linux Bangalore/2003] and [http://linux-bangalore.org/2004 Linux Bangalore/2004]), broke ground for the growing Linux and Open Source community in India, seeing participation by thousands of delegates from India and abroad.

In recent times, recognising that Linux and open Source had become mainstream technologies and had little need for generic advocacy, members of the group proposed creating smaller groups in Bangalore. The formation of Special Interest Groups ([SIG]) is a natural outcome of this. Another outcome was regular "Birds of Feather" or [[BOF]] meets organised each fortnight at various locations across the city.

The BLUG continues to exist - not as an "umbrella organisation" but as a concept, and a model of how techno-social groups can make a difference.
