Hi all,
Thanks prateek for the minutes. Some doubts and suggestions.
Here goes :-
Regarding the 1st stage, which I feel is the most important. Prateek
said it includes :-
Ist Stage
* Leaflets
* Presentation
* CDs
to be taken care of by Tripta and Prateek
What will the CD contain? I am sure this must have been discussed.
Please let us know. From my experience of schools, (I passed out last
year), it is not the students, but the mindset of the teachers, that we
should be focusing on. Students are ready to learn anything (as long as
it doesn't add to the syllabus ;) and the current computer syllabus in a
real pain in the #$%.
If I am not wrong, I think Raj Mathur has taken upon him to come up with
a customized distro. Talking realistically, how many schools do you
think will take the effort to move their data to free up a computer?
And, if you provide the computers, how many will you be able to?
What I am getting to is, maybe we can begin with making a distro that
runs directly of a CD and doesn't need a hard-disk. (Pretty much like
the DemoCD distribution).
I think all schools have state-of-the-art computers nowadays with
atleast 128 MB (otherwise MS Office xp wouldn't run which an AMC guy
would insist upon installing). We can put all our presentations and
stuff on it. Twin advantage :- show off Linux and at the same time
whatever else we need to *in linux* without actually "installing" a
Linux system.
Then once the authorities are convinced enough to free up a box, we can
put up Raj's distro.
What say? Anybody game?
