<DIV dir=ltr>The Program is one great idea, but the localization by Country is
very important.<BR>The Education System is diferent in all the contrys.
<BR>The localization is in lenguage and educational structure.<BR>The
structure US isn't the onlyone in the
world.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>---Hernan<BR><BR><BR>

all, worldwide..<BR>
<DIV class=Ih2E3d><BR>Hello Everyone,<BR>>><BR>>> I realize that
some people have been confused, perplexed and perhaps<BR>>> annoyed at
the lack of information being disseminated about what is<BR>>> going
on<BR>>> vis-a-vis some programs being planned in the educational
realm. After<BR>>> my<BR>>> brief comments at the NA
ambassadors meeting a few weeks I would like to<BR>>> outline what has
been going on to provide some clarity as well a grounds<BR>>>
for<BR>>> discussions for everything. Let me start by saying
that I apologize if<BR>>> it<BR>>> seemed like this was being
done in secret, which it absolutely isn't,<BR>>> its<BR>>> just
the choice was made to keep everything quiet until we could make<BR>>>
some<BR>>> formal announcement in the coming months and that lead
people to believe<BR>>> we<BR>>> were trying to cut people out
of the process, which is not the case at<BR>>> all.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Ih2E3d>It seems that i lost some mail before...
:-)<BR><BR>>><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Ih2E3d>>> That being said, I am going to highlight some key
pieces of strategy<BR>>> which<BR>>> for better or worse
comprise our Fedora Education Strategy and feel free<BR>>>
to<BR>>> comment on and/or disagree with any of these--thats why I'm
putting this<BR>>> out, to get everyone involved in the
process:<BR>>><BR>>> 1. Open Source Curriculum - We are working
with a talented group of<BR>>> people<BR>>> to try and put
together both a platform and set of course materials in<BR>>>
order<BR>>> to teach people and students world wide how to program
using modern<BR>>> software<BR>>> engineering methodologies and
with a focus on Free and Open Software<BR>>> tools<BR>>> and
philosophy.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Ih2E3d>Very Nice, but educational programs are very different in
different<BR>places. Here in Argentina<BR>my chosen role, was promote Fedora
on Digital break Access, something that<BR>Red Hat in the region could not
spread correctly. Absense of Red Hat<BR>Educational Strategy ( in exception
of Brazil ) generates "black holes" in<BR>Digital Break reduction. Be only
focused on only High School programs is<BR>always let other parts alone. We
cannot start a worldwide education<BR>program around only few tips.
Educational strategy must be concerned<BR>around all aspects of education.
We cannot start from a "all people are in<BR>the university", in some places
on earth, like here, no all the people has<BR>this capability or
access..<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Ih2E3d>>> 3. Red Hat High 2.0 - Redefine RHH as a program
working with the<BR>>> country's<BR>>> elite science and math
high schools in order to get students<BR>>> familiarized<BR>>>
with open source at the high school level. This ties in with the
Open<BR>>> Curriculum. We know there are a number of similar
initiatives but none<BR>>> which focus around getting students
familiarized with open source.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Ih2E3d>Nice, but elitist...needed, but not
enough....<BR><BR><BR>>><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Ih2E3d>>> Thats basically that, I'm sure everyone will have
more questions and<BR>>> comments and suggestions, so let's get
everyone involved in this. What<BR>>> do<BR>>> you
think?<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Ih2E3d>Of course its a great idea, even thought i dont know who
could think that<BR>this gonna split ambassador program, but in one month, i
will have the<BR>evidences in REAL LIFE, that no only high school
educational strategy is<BR>the main target.<BR><BR>We must learn from the
past around OLPC program. This program fails in<BR>most of countries.
Educatioal strategy was US centralized, and was not<BR>focused on real needs
of each country. Now, if we want to go to a global<BR>educational strategy,
all parts of the process must be considered.<BR><BR>Strategy implies, more
than strategy, implies concense...<BR><BR>Regards<BR>Pablo
