It is very interesting to see someone writing about me. I am very happy to see it.
It goes like this
On the FSF Friends mailing list, a few hours ago, Praveen A, has posted his experience on doing exactly what the panel at LinuxWorld stressed upon Ц taking Linux to schools Ц and with the advantage of a neutral courseware.
The books for Class 8th, 9th and 10th for the IT@School program in Kerala have the word GNU/Linux sprinkled everywhere. But when Praveen went to a nearby school for organizing a workshop for the teachers he learnt something that is all familiar Ц the higher authorities try to avoid Linux by instructing the teachers to only teach Windows.
Praveen, for one, has decided to coach the willing teachers dueing the school vacation. Although itТs a start itТs not a solution in itself. There are larger issues as well as larger people to convince.
It so cooool’
