Off topic, but I hope you can help. My local library, part of an extensive network of libraries run by local metropolitan Council, will most likely fully reopen on 19 July. I have been unofficially told that the Council will have problems giving computer access to users because, guess what?, software licences (read: Microsoft) have expired and most programs will simply not run.
It's not the first time that the Council has been proposed the adoption of Open Source (I remember the now defunct local LUG did that about 15 years ago) but they obviously rejected it. Times have changed and even "corporate", whatever it means, is no longer of afraid of Linux. I was just thinking that if an entity with the name and the prestige of the LPI jumped in and lobbied for the replacement of existing ageing, insecure software with Linux-based solutions, it would also be a massive PR return for the LPI. I can provide more details if needed. Your opinions will be appreciated and apologies to those offended by the off topic. -- Ottavio Caruso _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] https://list.lpi.org/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
