It's not as simple as that-lah. Let me give you an analogy. Take dengue 
and life style diseases, you don't achieve much by the treatment you 
give to those affected and infected. MNCC, individuals with good 
intention etc will not make great impact no matter how much they promote 
via installfest, training sessions etc. I'm not belittling everyone's 
efforts. It's just that unless effective "business/marketing" methods 
are used, adoption of oss will remain insignificant, despite what I said 
of MAMPU's role.

Dinesh made a start with his talk on oss to a MIMOS/NITC/DAGS organised 
meeting end of last year, but the "marketing" of the talk was not well 
done and there was no follow-up efforts on any of the mentioned party's 
part. I remember there was a guy whose was ? supposed to implement oss 
in local government projects present at the talk. I wonder if he is 
still on track or has succumbed to M$.net too.
