Hi all,
Saw this in the newspaper today :-

http://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/policy/governments-os-boss-dying-a-slow-death-due-to-lack-of-patronage/43300186


For people uninitiated, BOSS is Debian+some homegrown code. As nobody
(except people from defence and BOSS own people) has access to the
source repository, we have no idea as to how much they take from
Debian or Ubuntu's source repositories and how much of it is being
made by C-DAV people for BOSS.

I have much less knowledge about BOSS so hopefully somebody can shed
more light if they want.
