I got that impressive letter a few moths ago, yes, very powerful, as
part of my preliminary research I started looking for legal precedents
in the use of "Free Software within the State", i got loads of info and
prepared the field for the practical part of this initiative.
The Institution I work for is part of the Government, one of the
projects we held here is called "InfoPlazas" (roughly translated to
InfoPlaces) basically this are free "computers cafes", right now they
are running on M$ so it is costly and cumbersome to manage. I want to
change that to a full Linux environment including linux routers with
frame relay cards.
I will find lot of resistance from M$ Agents (excuse my sarcasm here)
working in SENACYT (the institution), one of their main arguments is
that there is not too many prepared Linux Users here so, an interesting
project will be to install a Red Hat Training Center here (is that
possible? we have the infrastructure, we have former experiences with
Sun Microsystems, etc; any requirements?).
