Than's an excellent idea Himanshu. There are a few ways this can be done.
1. By calling for write-ups and then editting a book which can be published
through a good publisher.
The theme od the book can be Open-source and education. There are so many
learned members in our group and I am sure we can get contributions. This will
of course need lot of time and will have to be an organized and coordinated
effort. I have been thing about this for quite some time. I know a few good
publishers both in Jaipur and Jodhpur who can be willing to publish. What's your
opinion.
2. By physically going to all the education institutions from schools to
colleges and distributing printouts which can be also made available at our
website.
3. Can even fix a time with FM radio people and give talks.

Well there can be many more ways. What do you suggest. And members what do you
say. Let's get the wheels rolling.
