[LIG] Can we find some Ramdev for Linux adaptability

Recently, we have see that most of Govt.'s website force 
visitors to use M$windows and/or Internet Explorer to fill 
Income Tax Return/Statement or to provide feedback. It is 
defeating the basic objective of unrestriced access to 
information.

LUGs are supposed to promote Standard Formats, but approach 
is not pro-active. I know, there are many on this list who 
provide solution based on open standards. But, such 
web-sites of Govt's will result in loss of confidence of 
customers in such solution providers, and it will be hard 
for such providers to sell solution based on Open Standards 
(Linux based).

Can we do what Swami Ramdev did for Yoga. Presently Swami 
Ramdev is able to promote and sell Yoga to such an extend 
that he is able to convince almost all decision makers 
(Chief Ministers) to implement and promote Yoga, and he 
enjoy fath of huge number of followers.

IMHO, we need similar approach in Linux. Those who are stake 
holders in Linux, should try to do aggressive marketing for 
Linux and Linux bases solution, and convince Govt. to force 
other vendors to provide solution which does not deny access 
to user of other platform.
