# IT syllabus of class XI in Maharshtra now includes FLOSS
We are happy to announce that the IT syllabus of XI standard is now
based on Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS). The books are
released in the market. Despite Ubuntu 18.04 being the default
recommended OS, students can choose their own GNU/Linux distro. The
book follows the National Education Policy in ICT education in order
to make the education cost-effective, ethical and accessible to
all. Around 1.5 lakh students in Maharashtra will be introduced to
Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) from this and successive
years.
This is a result of efforts made by veteran founders of ILUG-Bombay,
Krishnakant Mane and his GNUKhata team, Prajakta Patkar, Karan Kamdar
and Abhijit of GNUKhata team.
