AssalamoAlekum wa Rahmatullah (Peace and Blessings of God up on you all) Greetings of the Day
I'm Iqbal Sajid from Pakistan. A new member in this group. I'm living in Saudi Arabia. I'm in Education for many years. LibreOffice is a fantastic product and Open Source overall wonderful, BUT I don't find many people using it or at least knowing it. Why? Reason what I've observed: We don't have any books on Open Source (Linux OS) and LibreOffice (or any open source office) for KIDS. All kids, mine, kids of my sisters, brothers, cousins studying in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, UK, USA, UAE (where my relatives are), are being taught in Schools, even in Colleges and Universities ONLY how to use Windows, How to use MS Office. Reason behind this, I don't find any books for KIDS on LibreOffice, Linux, etc. In my opinion, if we want a change worldwide, we should create books for kids, and then reach schools, and educational ministries of countries to adapt this course starting from kindergarten. Then we can see a change in a period of 10 years of so.
