Just noticed this in the Ubuntu weekly newsletter:

"Indian political party turns to FOSS - Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is
India's largest political party, with around 20 million Ordinary Members
and about 4 million Active Members. In June, BJP announced its goal to
become one of the most high-tech political parties in the next two
years, and free and open source software (FOSS) will play an essential
role in this project. BJP plans to implement Wi-Fi connectivity in all
its headquarters, plus nationwide IP video telephony, and unified
messaging networks. How will all this happen? Prodyut Bora, of BJP
information technology cell, says they have found that it is possible to
create an entire enterprise IT ecosystem using only FOSS. He states that
BJP plans to use CentOS as its server operating system, and Ubuntu on
desktops. Currently, BJP has only five Ubuntu desktops, which are part
of a three-month pilot project that is almost over, after which, Ubuntu
will become the standard BJP desktop."
