Free Software in Education - Next Steps -- Georg Greve
Hi everyone,
as announced a few weeks ago, the Free Software Foundation Europe will help coordinate and strengthen intiatives to propagate Free Software in and around the educational sector in Europe.
The roadmap to this as we see it right now would be to first gather as many initiatives active in this field and then get a round table (or even a conference) organized where all the activists can meet and talk to each other.
This meeting can be used to share experiences in the field and to plan concrete strategies to propagate Free Software in the educational sector.
In order to make the first step, a mailing list
has been created that you can subscribe to using the web form at
http://mailman.fsfeurope.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/edu
or by sending e-mail to edu-request@fsfeurope.org with "subscribe" (without quotes) as the subject.
This list will be administrated by Hilaire Fernandes of Ofset, an associate organization of the FSF Europe.
We hope that many people will join in order to make a real difference for Free Software in education.
Regards,
Georg Greve FSF Europe, President
