Jean-Claude, I want to start by saying that I _nd your posting very exciting. UNESCO is clearly committed to FOSS and has developed an impressive portfolio of interrelated activities in support of FOSS in education. It is also obvious that UNESCO is committed to a watershed vision of global importance. I have a number of questions, and I am trying to work out where to start. So, I have decided to start at the beginning.
In your needs analysis statement you state that
There is a strong demand for Free and Open Source Software solutions based upon open standardsfrom developing and emerging countries who want to initiate secondary school and/or highereducation computerization programs, as well as to computerize public administration.
Could you expand a little further on this? That is, what needs are driving the demand for introducing computer technology into education and government?
Thanks Ken
