@Chitlesh: We can also try te get some Fedora-related books* in the
libraries. I'm living in a small town with a very small library, but I
think it is possible to request books at bigger libraries.<br>
<br>
If I didn't have a book about Linux when I began with it, I probably wouldn't have survived my first Linux-experience :-)<br>
<br>
And what does a 'Project Leader' have to do?<br>

Chitlesh,<br><br>spot on!<br><br>Quoting Chitlesh GOORAH <<a href="mailto:chitlesh@gmail.com">chitlesh@gmail.com</a>>:<br><br>> Hello everyone,<br>> I think im going to write a lot lol.<br>> Ok an Ubuntu marketing agent told me about their idea of having Ubuntu
<br>> in Libraries.<br>> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuInLibraries">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuInLibraries</a><br>> No, its not about installing Ubuntu in the computers but to lend Open<br>> source cds to their subscribed users. Actually they copied it from
<br>> Openoffice.<br>><br><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/11838/Open%20Source%20CD%20in%20libraries%20Howto.pdf">http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/11838/Open%20Source%20CD%20in%20libraries%20Howto.pdf
</a><br>><br>> Personally its a wonderful idea because having CDS in libraries will<br>> affect the complete newbies mind set of fear towards linux.<br>> Considering the fact that librairies is a body of trust.
<br>><br>> This is mostly an activity done by the lug. Of course if we<br>> ambassadors provide enough materials/translation to.<br>><br>> Im eager to do it right away in Strasbourg. But comparing to another
<br>> distros like ubuntu,suse,etc they already have enough materials in<br>> their pocket. Example, live cds. I prefer to wait for Fedora to catch<br>> up with materials.<br>><br>> Let's take for example, Fedora. If a lug happens to realise this
<br>> project. Among other distros we will only have handouts and Fedora<br>> DVDs. Meanwhile students or anyone will prefer to give a try to live<br>> cds, leaving Fedora behind. Saying that this particular live distro is
<br>> based on Fedora isn't enough for the complete newbies. It would rather<br>> be useless. If someone tried the "official" fedora LIVE cd if he/she<br>> likes it he/she can easily get the install DVD for free for their
<br>> local lug or lug ambassador or from the library directly.<br>><br>> Some testimonials:<br>><br><a href="http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/04/04/16/1923248.shtml?tid=137&tid=185&tid=215">http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/04/04/16/1923248.shtml?tid=137&tid=185&tid=215

<br>> ambassadors from India or Brazil will have alot to say :))<br>><br>> I know we (majority)ambassadors we only popped in during meetings<br>> hours, talk and talk. This sounds like acting. Its time to move A55 :)
