HiMu OS
By creating an open source alternative to Kai OS, mass population of Bangladesh can be brought online.
Increases:
- Online presence
- Cheaper way to get knowledge
- If a large portion of the country comes online then foreign companies would be willing to invest in the Bangladeshi market (like Xaomi invests in the Indian market)
Kai OS allows 4G, Maps, google assistant etc on a feature phone. Along with the internet and telecommunications company Jio it has brought mass development in India. However, it's closed source. Hence, community development interest is low and it's not profitable for a lot of companies to put that in their phones and sell in Bangladesh.
While there has been an attempt at an community OS (Gerda OS), it focuses more on privacy and tech enthusiasts rather than the average poor farmer figure in Bangladesh.
By bringing a large portion of the country online and increasing foreign interest in Bangladesh tech market, we get
More investment = More employment = More income = More savings = the cycle goes on and on

1.Marketing might be an issue. I plan to overcome this by using social media to advertise. By creating "woke" ads we can get more people talking and the more people that talk the more the news spreads.
