Balu,
I hear you. Valid obstacles indeed.
Which is why I'm writing to this community. If there are people who are
willing to help with the initial training, I should like to meet them and
take this project forward.
Hope to continue hearing from you.

@padmini, three factors - lack of academic integration, training (to
both students and teachers) and support (peer/community/commercial)
seems by far serious obstacles, in particular in encouraging use of
foss, here BOSS Linux.
so if your training idea takes off, it would be interesting to see if it
helps.

Bhaskar, Balu, all,to
Thank you for expressing an interest in a possible project.
In FOSS I am familiar only with the Ubuntu OS (and its variants edubuntu,
kubuntu etc.)
Am exploring the possibility of getting HS students involved in learning
format hard drives of older computers (that people want to get rid of),to
install the Ubuntu OS and make these available to those with less access
computers.applications
The students would then teach the recipients to use the OS and
that work with the OS. They would also help with regular upgrades eachyear
when the next version is released. It is an ongoing programme.scheme.
There are details of course which would be modified depending on the
context. But that's it in a nutshell.
I need to meet with those who could help teach the HS students about
Ubuntu, how to install, upgrade, find applications and put together
tutorials for those they wish to help.
Hope this makes sense.
@balu would like to hear about your experience with the free laptop
What are the obstacles?or
Regards,
Padmini

hi,
@padmini, I would be interested on the thread on training with high
school students. As part of my research I am looking at FOSS (since we
all struggled to get it on those laptops) around the free laptop scheme
of TN Govt.
would be happy to explore together,

Hi Mohan,
Thanks for the response. Do you mean I should post to an online blog
thefiguresite? Could you suggest one?
The reason I should like to talk with someone before posting is to
notout whether this is the right list for what I have in mind. I'd rather
waste everyone's time / space etc.
I'm happy to post a summary of the conversation, if there is one, to
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________list.
Dear Madam,
Since your request in related to Free Software, you have reached the
right place for posting what you have in your mind/thoughts. We
everyone here is ready to help, as your community project involves
high school students.
S. Baskar
