Hi ,
Well a couple of points , firstly
shouldn't we move our discusion pertaining to this
topic off the main list. Either join with some
existing list or make a new mailing list . It's just a
suggestion .
As for points mentioned in your letter . There are
couple of issue's .
1)After installation support :- Well this is quite an
tricky issue , since most of the support in OSF/FSF
based softwares comes from volunteering(mailing
list,#irc chan etc) . I don't know how many coporates
will be eager to place there whole system support at
the hands of some unknown, untraceable guy's . Who are
available only on the internet .Maybe we can have a
model where a company can choose btw two modes of
migration
a)The company involves it's own people and the
migration team will guide them and help them in
migration . It will totally free only manpower of
company will be used . But they have to place the
support(after installation) at the hands of volunteers
b)They approach migration team and it guides them to
linux based companies in that field .From there
onwards the approaching company can deal with linux
solution provider themselve .They can still approach
MT(migration team) for help .
What do you all say ?
2)Well as for migration ,well we can start
identifying firstly kind of corporate business that
will benefit the most from migration and will be
easiest to migrate
. any suggestion for such business(s) or business
activites?
Then we can make a plan how to incoporate linux in
ther e work model without causing to much of a shift
in the work paradigm .
3) At the same time we can start looking at the
various standard linux products like Apache webserver,
openoffice, etc which are mature enough to be fitted
directly in the migration cycle without any great
effort on our part .
We can start listing such products ?
Lastly should we come up with a small site either
withing DLUG/LAP or any place where we can document
our efforts(if any effort is put in ;>)
Bye
