Prakruti Badi, Chennekottapalli, Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh. It is run by an NGO, Timbaktu Collective (http://timbaktu.org). Its a rural school and they don't have enough funds to buy professional services. They have 5-6 computers and they mainly use computers to: * prepare course material (work sheets, exams papers etc) * type various documents (in English and Telugu) * play songs and movies for children * let children get familiar with computers * manage content for http://kottapalli.in (an e-magazine for children in Telugu run by that school) Though their scale is small, they represent typical rural scenario (with no people with experience in Linux and no/slow internet connection). I feel that If I can manage to switch them to Ubuntu without much pain, it can be done elsewhere too. > As mentioned earlier, I'd suggest that you try the DVD, and you could > ask the partners for any customization and support that the school may > need. Thanks for pointing that. I have already started downloading the DVD. -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
