(Multiple forwarded;  so I have  removed the originating  info, edited
and reflowed the text for sake  of sanity. Some people never learn the
value of  freedom, so continue to think  in terms of OSS;  but that is
not a reason to not to use  a good opportunity in Free software -- any
takers??).


Hi,

Prof Venkatesh 'Venky' Hariharan [venky at indlinux dot org] has just
provided  information on a  scholarship program  initiated by  Red Hat
India  Pvt Ltd. Aimed  at bonafide  students from  various engineering
colleges from  all over  India, the program  is designed  to encourage
young talent  and spread the  open source philosophy that  has created
world  class software  like  Linux, Apache  and  many other  programs.
Scholarships worth INR 100,000 would be on offer.

RHIPL believes  that India  can make an  immense contribution  to the
open source community world wide. The Red Hat Scholarships are focused
on  solving practical, real-life  problems that  are of  importance to
Linux  users worldwide.  The experience  of participating  in  Red Hat
Scholarships will  therefore help the students when  they graduate and
become part of the information technology industry.

The convenor of the The Open Source Challenge is Javed Tapia Director,
RHIPL).   The  advisory board  comprises  of Dr  D  B  Phatak, Prof  S
Sadagopan, Sandeep Menon, Rajesh Jain.
