TamilPC team is a small group of professionals working under the guidance of veteran Writer Sujatha Rangarajan to bring out a full-fledged easy-to-use Tamil Linux Computer.
  • The project is aimed to serve the following purposes:
  • To create a user-friendly Tamil desktop environment.
  • Facilitate end-users migrate to license-free computing to bring down Total Cost of Ownership
  • Enable Tamils (knowing *only* Tamil language) to use popular programs on the computer
  • Take computer literacy to masses (knowing only Tamil), especially the rural segment, by giving the OS/application in Tamil language.

    These objectives boil down to:
    Evolving an all-Tamil intuitive common-man-friendly Tamil Linux Desktop.

    Red Hat has been chosen as the base distribution to which modifications, customizations are being done.

    As part of this work the team has also taken up the task of bringing out a Tamil version of OpenOffice.org, a versatile open source office suite (free distribution). The translation process (localization, or l10n for short) is in progress.

    This site is intended to serve the following purposes
    1. Status update on the TamilPC team progress
    2. Meet and discuss (post, and later possibly, chat) how to improve, accelerate the process sharing views, knowledge resources with like-minded Tamilians around the world to bring out the best. After all, open source is all about collaborating for betterment.
