[Note: I am posting this to migration list to discuss, your views of training strategies during migration from other platforms, this case here is based on an educational institution] Hello Everyone, During April-May 2003, I had an opportunity to perform as a training consultant for Red Hat India, on the famous project of Rajiv Gandhi Shiksha Mission (RGSM). RGSM is owned and run by Madhya Pradesh Govt., of India. This was a bit customized solution based on RH8 to be deployed for computer based education using Open Office presentations, Draw and presentations and lectures made in Macro media Flash. My job was limited to technical trainings of the initial support and teaching staff of RGSM. I am proud to say that RH India did a wonderful job well planning & delivering the solution along the technical and non-technical trainings and hard worked study material, throughout Madhya Pradesh. So did RGSM preparing all the presentations and lectures for their school lectures. My own direct feedback from all those close to 150 folks is that they were well satisfied and learned, and their commitments and dedication to wards the use of open source software, surprised and turned me emotional lot. The project co-coordinator, and trainees liked this implementation so much that they began discussing the future of this project as computer education but of Linux based operating systems and software. Thats quite positive perspective and the work is in progress. This is a happy project ending for all and lot more to begin. But I have few self doubts: -> how difficult and easy is for these kinds of institutions to arrange good and stable study material for their choice of tools ? -> How will their study material can remain always current with open source software development phenomena ? -> What changes would you suggest to the education community to be able to make best use of open source in education ? -> What strategy would you suggest to open source software teams to make their software useful for education community ?
