FYI, President APJ Kalam is quite literally a rocket scientist, who was formerly with the Defense Research and Development Organization. He's met with Richard Stallman a number of times to talk about OSS, particularly with it's importance to a developing country like India, and stressed it's importance to domestic software organizations a number of times.

I'm hoping to see more active participation in OSS development from India, as more of it's educated masses come online. Computer and internet usage has surged among the middle-class only in recent years, with improvement (albeit gradual) in infrastructure.
