My brother is studying in class three. In home, i have installed GNU/Linux for him to use and have fun. He is now comfortable with the desktop. I was so touched last week. He came to me and said he need "paintbrush of Windows" in Linux. I showed him its alternative but still could not convince him Coz in school, he is made to do in windows.
If this is the trend of teaching windows applications and window itself from class 3 onwards. Until he is college student he will be too much into windows. It will be nearly impossible to make them migrate to FOSS. I think we must start a campaign/organize a workshop focusing on primary schools. Campaign will cost much of our time which we may not manage. But One or two days of workshop for the school administrations and computer teachers(at initial phase), to aware them of FOSS and Convience them to implement it, would be great. shall we do it? How can we do it? what can we do? Can we do it before SFD? ................................................. -- Prabin Gautam "ओपन ठिटो" Registered Linux User #443940 letS makE ouR streeT FOSSible.......... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
