<h3>General</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The Free Software Foundation Europe actively promotes the
|
||||
use of Free Software in schools and universities. Free Software
|
||||
is pedagogically and technologically superior to proprietary
|
||||
systems. But more importantly, its basic spirit involving freedom and cooperation
|
||||
is the same spirit of education in a democratic environment.

We have a more <a href="argumentation.html">detailed argumentation</a>

which sums up why we think that Free Software
|

is the kind of software which should be used in education.

Furthermore, the Free Software Foundation Europe has created an
|

<a href="eduteam.html">education task force</a> who aims to act as

a hub for national efforts in Europe.

<h3>Educational Task Force</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To speed up and increase communication in the educational
|
||||
field, the Free Software Foundation Europe have created an
|
||||
educational task force, currently consisting of Hilaire
|
||||
Fernandes, Mario Fux, Georg Greve, Aigars Mahinovs, Alessandro
|
||||
Rubini, Chritian Selig, Richard Smedley. Our goals are:
|
||||
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
networking Free Software in Education efforts and energies
|
||||
to connect people, thus avoiding duplication of efforts (i.e.,
|
||||
there are three databases with free edu software);
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
spreading information about Free Software in Education;
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
spreading information about the importance of software
|
||||
freedoms;
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
communicating through the <a
|
||||
href="mailto:edu-team@fsfeurope.org">edu-team@fsfeurope.org</a>
|
||||
mailing list.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you want to be part of this effort (which means that you
|
||||
are devoted to it, not just observing), we have some
|
||||
requirements:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
experience with GNU/Linux, Free Software and education;
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
a clear "No" to non-free software;
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
advantageous: previous work in that field;
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
you should live in Europe (i.e. NA, India and China have
|
||||
their own FSF educational efforts, so please join them if
|
||||
you live there).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The task force can be reached via
|
||||
edu-team@fsfeurope.org. Currently, we have contacts in France,
|
||||
Germany, Italy, Latvia, Switzerland and the UK. I hope that
|
||||
we can find ways to receive EU funding and get in touch with
|
||||
politicians.
