What some say...

“Frederick is one of the handful of people I turn to for anything dealing with technology in India. His knowledge, expertise and contacts are invaluable.” November 8, 2006 --
Sree Sreenivasan, Co-founder, SAJA, South Asian Journalists Association

--

“Fred was the first in Goa [1987] to pass the UGC JRF test in English. But he didn't take up the scholarship as his interests encompassed more than mere academics. He has proved his mettle and commitment in all the various assignments he has taken up and can truly be credited with being a moving force for projecting Goa and its issues on the Internet. My attempt to post a recommendation for Fred can only express a fractional aspect of his multi-faceted personality.” November 7, 2006 -- Rafael Fernandes, lecturer [sel.gr], dept of english, goa university

--

“Frederick is a highly knowledgeable and committed journalist specializing in the impact of technology on developing societies. His Bytesforall Web site and mailing list are essential resources for anybody working on global poverty and the Digital Divide.” September 1, 2006 -- Edward Cherlin, Simputer Evangelist, Encore Technologies
--

“Frederick Noronha is an outstanding example of a profesionally committed journalist, eager for research and innovation.He is one of the very few journalists in India, if not the only who has been a votary of educational rights of people, such as literacy and adult education.His devotion to work is evinced in his application oriented principles of knowledge.” July 24, 2006 -- Dr. Ananya Guha

--

“Fred's BytesForAll magazine is a wonderful resource for free and open-source enthusiasts working to cross the digital divide.” June 13, 2005 --Joseph Koshy

--

“Fred's work in the field of Free and Open Source software has been one of the corner stones of the growth of the movement in India. His efforts at getting people to talk to each other are unparalleled, and the results of this work speak for themselves.” May 7, 2005 --Atul Chitnis
