Thats why I tried to draw attention to what we was doing in the e-mail 15:25 Tuesday July 27th 2004. It's understandable that it's much to grasp in documents that summaries what has happened the last two years. Anyway, it's heavily documented, and everything is posted on the e-mail-lists, and is in CVS. I am glad to quote this again: <quotation> This three minutes and reports shows the process and the aspirations: http://developer.skolelinux.no/info/prosjektet/referater/ref_ufd_20021115.txt http://developer.skolelinux.no/info/prosjektet/referater/troverdig_org.txt http://www.norden.org/nr/2-6-5-rek/sk/2004/Fre_02_2004.pdf Currently we are helping a national service provider to deploy a centralised day-to-day operation centre with Skolelinux. We do this in accordance with the plan of action for 2004 that accompanies The Program for Digital Competence 2004-2008 from The Ministry of Education and Research. The plans with this has been announced and worked on since the autumn 2002, after request from the people in the department, or the politicians in Oslo: http://developer.skolelinux.no/info/prosjektet/referater/ref_ufd_20021115.txt http://developer.skolelinux.no/driftskonsepter/detaljertsoeknad.html http://developer.skolelinux.no/driftskonsepter/utsikt.html http://developer.skolelinux.no/driftskonsepter/soeknad-UFD-endelig.sxw </quotation> In other words, we have told a lot of people and institutions about our goals and plans - often from direct questions from different organisations. The origin of the plans are heavily documented. The best of the competitors it was commented in the negotiations with representatives of 530 municipalities and public offices. Even the contract proposals has been committed to CVS. In negotiating with the municipalities their legal advisor told us to stop that practice because it is not allowed. Also a short memo and minutes are committed to CVS after such meetings - if suchlike things are not prevented by the form of the meeting. We ask the people we talk to in which form we can document what we are talking about, because we does most of our ting the free software way, so that we don't does any problems later in the process. * Some uses the possibilities, others don't Some companies has found out that they should contact SLX Debian Labs to get help with realization of their plans. We invite them to study whats already documented, and we give them our best advice. Somebody uses the advice they like and throw away what they don't want to use. Others say theire not interested because they has other ranking of priorities. In the hardware vendor marked I have given this offer equally to all the companies that sells hardware. There was two companies that really jumped into this offer. One of them was In/Out that also got the national agreement with Directorate for Primary and Secondary Education for selling newer reused computers to the schools. They say that the Skolelinux effort was the engagement that tipped the agreement in their direction. The CIO in on of the other hardware companies told me to take a holiday after he showed me of his recently acquisition of a new Mercedes. It's more intersting for me personally to help people who ask for help with schools deploying Skolelinux instead of listening to people that have bought themself a new Mercedes, and recommend the projectmanager in Skolelinux to take ha vacation :-).
