Like the fabled "city of the Gandharvas" Debian exists and doesn't exist. 
It obviously exists (else why are we talking about this? :-)  But as far 
as the bureaucratic mind is concerned there is no CEO, no headquarters, no 
one to sign "memorandums of understanding" therefore it doesn't exist.

Is there any company or official organization that can push for Debian in 
Kerala.  Are there printed training materials or course work?  A list of 
consultants who are qualified to maintain Debian systems?  These are 
avenues to pursue IMO.

Remember Red Hat are not our enemy.  If their organizational structure is 
more appropriate for the situation than Debian, well it is still a win for 
free software.  All we want is for choices to be made with full 
information and no political pressure so that Debian can compete on its 
own merits.
