Hi All:
I have been active as an independent IT consultant on many open
source platforms (for several enterprise applications – incidentally Plone
is one of the tools that I have used for Content Management Systems and built
portals based on Liferay) and would like to look at this aspect for e-Governance
if there are takers. Is there any other group, perhaps that can guide me to
take up this venture and move forward. I am sure as a country we will have
immense potential to address these issues in India. Let me know. Thanks for the
support.
With warm regards
S Ramanathan
