Talam stops support of key software

Talam, an Auroville unit that has been providing key software support for many of Auroville’s online services, announced that it will cease to support certain software from 1st April 2024. Talam’s work was supposed to be taken over some time ago by the AVFO-formed group Auroville Integrated Information Service (AIIS), yet AIIS has not done this. Talam stated, “it has become increasingly challenging for us to maintain and support these projects, given that we were explicitly instructed to cease development and hand them over.” Affected services include the Guest Registration Service and the Matrimandir booking portal.
