Having had a chat with Grant about this I propose to write a "preamble" to any proposals Grant might make to extend his College into GNU/Linux (GL for short here) for him to adopt or amend or simply to stimulate his own writing. I propose this includes an offer from us to support any GL developments at the College in any way we can and any joint activities are for our mutual benefit. I have experience of constructive relations like this in another arena. I suggest there are 3 (potentially ovewrlapping) parts to the paper: firstly a collection of examples of areas where GL is dominant, has a strong presence (world scenario) or where trends are clear; secondly how students would be advantaged to have certain GL skills in the UK and the rest of the EU (and implicitly or explicitly disadvantaged to ONLY have skills with MS software); thirdly, how we might assist by providing support for Grant and his colleagues, and opportunities to test any developments. I will start drafting and will include any thoughts expressed here, on the List or privately. -- james kilty http://www.kilty.demon.co.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
