[FSUG-Bangalore] Fwd: [Fsf-friends] Kerala school training material

[Praveen A]

Important point for us. How can we make sure, we will introduce other
Freedoms in ICT at School project in Karnataka. I think something like
Google's Highly Open Participation Contest would be good
http://code.google.com/intl/ml-IN/opensource/ghop/2007-8/

I hope our summer of code students can help in this. Any other ideas?

Raj,
I think there would be problem if you chose to adopt or recommend the
*mode of educating* Free Software in Kerala. Nothing that I know here
uses the opportunity to equip student community to get introduced to
Free Software through its different Freedoms other than *Freedom Level
0*.

This is a fine trap that Kerala's IT at School project is led into, as of
now, because all these learning exercises can be replaced by Freewares
or Sharewares or other subsidised Proprietary software.

If these concerns are unfounded, can they be substantiated with
evidence ? Guess Arun or Vimal may be able to clarify.
