Hi Ian,
Sadly no, i am not related to Joe Camilleri, especially since i was
born a decade later... i would like to look into the EQF and possibly
push for FOSS in schools, should any one would like to partake in
this namely as the most FOSS friendly Office suite is Libreoffice,
kindly advise me, so that would discuss further and possible draw up
plans and presentation keynotes so we could pitch to educational
boards, and educational institutes, and it would be great if some one
would be able to post "Case Studies" with a recommendation from that
organization so that we could show those that are still weary of
making the switch.
I was told for Schools, I would have to go through a lot first, then
present it to the School board. The whole process can take over a year
or two between the initial presentation "that there is a better and
cheaper way for doing the work", to the Board Presentation, to the Board
decision. This is for schools in New York State, USA.
Getting board members to see the advantage is one thing, but you need
political clout to get anything to be discussed by my local school
board, even if you can prove you can save them big money, or want to
donate money to the schools.
