Hi, I’m trying to introduce I would like to know a bit about your experiences in using
it. What problems you faced, was the training and the conversion difficult,
long or costly? Here it would be more difficult for the teaching staff than
for the students, students will do it easily I’m sure. I would really appreciate if you could share your
experiences with me. I would like to convince our ICT Committee that it is
worth moving into Open Source Software, not just for the money factor but all
the benefits that it will bring into the school. My plan is to start with OpenOffice
running on Windows and in a year or so, maybe 2, we will switch to Linux,
providing everything works well. Are there any other schools/universities using it? I would
like to contact them and share experiences We have around 1,800 students and 200+ staff. Thanks for all your help, ============== Omar Olivos Head of IT |
