Here in Poland there is a program (run by the Fundacja Wolnego i Otwartego Oprogramowania - "The Free and OpenSource Software Foundation") called "WiOO w Szkole" (translated as "FLOSS in School"). And they are doing some great job, all year round. Maybe it'd be an idea for other FLOSS apologists out there. ;) Cheers mike

Think about schools on the day

by Peter Ruwoldt

Hi If we accept that schools are one of the key mechanisms for change in society, then the idea of helping schools to think about the opportunities that FOSS can offer is a worthy pursuit. If you are looking for an activity for your team on the day then possibly doing something in the education arena might be a go - make a movie or some sort of presentation and publish it - collate resources (we have started something on the SFD website that you could contribute to) - invite teachers from local schools to your event - ? Hope this helps Peter -- Free and Open education for all Peter Ruwoldt Grant High School Hosking Avenue MOUNT GAMBIER SA 5290 P. 08 87263128 F. 08 87250173 ruwoldtp(a)granths.sa.edu.au http://ruwoldtp.googlepages.com/

Celebrated SFD today to coincide with Teacher's Day

by shirish

Hi all, We decided to celebrate SFD today to co-incide with Teacher's Day .While one reason was that both the events talk so much about freedom and sharing, few others which were related to managing things (in short couldn't help it) It was a small low-profile event with about 50-60 odd people attending and having a good time. I would be putting up a detailed blog post on the same with pictures and everything in couple of days. Best of luck with your preparations and hope to know more what other people are upto :) That's it for now from me. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17
