From 14 to 30 of July 2014, we are conducting the first ever Open Source training in public schools for both students and teachers titled 'Free Open Source Software adoption in secondary schools' namely 10 major high schools in the capital of Laos. We have adopted LibreOffice as major office application: Write, Calc, Impress, and Math. We concentrate on 10% technical and the rest is of practical. The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications' Department of Planning and Cooperation received funding from ASEAN ICT and we are the main partner for the training. I am very grateful to people who are very supportive and very kind for the good cause here in Laos and we hope to further our Open Source developments for the great benefit of the people and society. As you might already know, I am the Lao Open Source evangelist and have been working and pushing Lao open source for nearly 15 years now. We are very happy to get thus far and the work is not stopping here, there is no limit to what we can do. Attached are photos of the training.
