3000 Fedora 7 installations.

[Nayyar Ahmad]

Hi All,

After a long discussions and few presentation, i have convinced Mozambique
Ministry of Finance (SISTAFE) to migrate their workstation around the
country from MS Windows to Linux (Fedora 7), now they have officially
approved the migration country wide and i will supervise this migration,
plus will help them in end user training, its the first time in Mozambique
that a Govt. department have opt for Linux (Fedora) and in my opinion it has
been a big achievement, as after their migration i will be able to speak
with other ministries and private firms.

cheers

Wow, that's great news for Fedora Project! Congratulation!
I'll submit it to FWN so we can share the news with rest of world. :)

[Gerold]

Well, ...

as Thomas mentioned: Congratulation Nayyar!

This is a big goal for Fedora and personally also for YOU!

If you need assistance do not hesitate to ask us, who can help you.

Maybe you can also document your work and share it with us, so we can go
over and show your work as a pilot :-)

Cheers

Let me congratulate you as well...

Now to get them to standardize on ODF...OpenOffice.org should help in
that regard.

They are currently using these workstation for data entry in custom build
J2EE ERP , mix with many open source tools (e.g. Jboss,Apache etc.), after
migration, of course they will start using Open Office etc.

thanks

Please, share your experience and how you did that. Would be great if you
share those presentations. We (Bangladesh) also need huge migrations in
different ministries.

Hi All

The pleasing news, the one of Nayyar, we in Peru, as for me I am working
with the Presidency of the Cabinet, in a project of Migration towards Open
Source+linux.

We have thought to initiate the process of migration with the document
standardization (ODF) and soon gradually to migrate towards desktop with
linux completely.

Not yet distro has been determined that to use for the migration process.
Nevertheless I wait for (like all) that Nayyar can share its experience
based on documents that helped to make possible that Fedora is elejida like
distro Linux to use.

Greetings and congratulations!!!,

Congratulations Nayyar. This is great news. It will be of great idea to put
all your efforts into a document. This will help migrating other such
agencies.

Once again congratulations.
