Dear All

It may interest you to find that UNESCO operates a free software portal.
It's address is:

http://www.unesco.org/webworld/portal_freesoft/index.shtml

Currently it has 396 links and documents. There is also a brief write-up
"UNESCO and Free Software" by Richard Stallman (of Free Software Foundation)
on the home page.

This is what the 'About' page says: "The UNESCO Free Software Portal gives
access to documents and websites which are references for the Free
Software/Open Source Technology movement. It is also a gateway to resources
related to Free Software...".

It has listings and links to free software in several categories including
digital libraries, courseware, productivity tools, etc.

The portal also accepts via a web form info and links to related resources.

Regards

- Rajashekar
