The Public_Software_for_Public_Sector campaign is being facilitated by a loose coalition of organization, many of which have been working in the FOSS space for a long time. The coalition consists of individuals and organisations which work on the technical side – developing FOSS applications, providing training and support for FOSS installations, NGOs that work in the development and governance spaces, academia, Kannada language and culture supporters, research and policy groups, advocacy groups etc.

The coalition would like to bring FOSS into the public discourse in Karnataka and other states in India and work for far greater awareness and appreciation of FOSS – both the philopsophy and rationale of FOSS as well as the practical possibilities in its adoption and use.

The coalition looks at Governments as key allies in this process. We believe that government has both the mandate as well as the responsibility to adopt and promote FOSS both within the Government system as well as in other public sector institutions and in society at large.
