Hello!
Unfortunately, I don't know any of your names, so I'd write "to whom it may concern". Thx for answer in advance.
This summer my university (Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia) is to hold a summer school in Sweden. All organizational issues are to be settled, now I can say about dates: school will definitely take place on 3rd week of July. We have a web-page: http://new.hse.ru/sites/summerbaltika/default.aspx (not fully in English, but main parts including history are translated). Here you can also find report from 2007 school in Germany.
I'm interested in free software and it's application in educational sphere (at schools, etc.). That's the topic of my research paper to be prepared for this summer school. My scientific adviser wants me to compare free software use in Russian and Swedish educational systems. It was not much difficult to find information about Russia, but Swedish part seems a lot more difficult to me.
I would be thankful for any information&materials on current free software state in Sweden.
You might be interested in participating as an experts, you are welcome. If you need any additional information, contact me.
Привет Николай,
be prepared for this summer school. My scientific adviser wants me to compare free software use in Russian and Swedish educational systems. It was not much difficult to find information about Russia, but Swedish part seems a lot more difficult to me.
Thank you for getting in touch -- we can definitely try to help you out! Unfortunately, as you might guess, a lot of the information available, and most web pages that I would try to point you to, is in Swedish.
So allow me to instead bounce this question to my colleague, Marcus Rejås, who is also on this list. Marcus is one of the teachers in Sweden who is actually using Free Software in his courses, and will likely be able to help you out.
Всего доброго,
Йонас

Hi,
Of course I'll try to help you. Could you please send me some more information about what this is about, what you want to know and so on.
By "educational systems" do you mean as pedagogic tools or administration as well. Are targeting the system as a whole or do you focus on a specific level of education?
Best regards,
Marcus Rejås
