Now is as good a time as any to undertake some well thought out steps
along the following lines:
- ensure that content that allows potential users to install,
configure and use Linux/Fedora is available in the local language
- ensure that the applications that are used (or, wished to be used)
are exhaustively packaged for and maintained in Fedora
- work on spins/remixes that are relevant to deployment like these
- work towards creating a collaborative book that can be used by the
teachers/trainers
And, last but not the least, do our best to be excellent to each other
so that we can collaborate and get similar positive outcome across
various states and education boards.

Now is as good a time as any to undertake some well thought out steps
along the following lines:
We ( VGLUG ) are going to work as a community support for infrastructure
at school level. Going to produce on line support documents focus to the
school requirement.
We are trying to develop few easy method so installation or deployment
will be easy for the school and some thing goes wrong they can raise the
query to LUG.
- ensure that content that allows potential users to install,
configure and use Linux/Fedora is available in the local language
- ensure that the applications that are used (or, wished to be used)
are exhaustively packaged for and maintained in Fedora
- work on spins/remixes that are relevant to deployment like these
- work towards creating a collaborative book that can be used by the
teachers/trainers
And, last but not the least, do our best to be excellent to each other
so that we can collaborate and get similar positive outcome across
various states and education boards.
Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
