[SFD-discuss] I need Help

[Abu Mohammad Omar Shehab Uddin Ayub]

Hi all,

In Bangladesh Open Source Network <http://www.bdosn.org>, we have a service
to help other entities to migrate to open source. Right now we have two
ongoing projects - one with D.net (a non-profit) and the other is Bangladesh
Telecenter network. In every case, we try to categorize the softwares first
in the following criteria - 1. Business critical/ Mission critical
softwares, 2. Regular business process, 3. Ad-hoc softwares, 4.
Miscellaneous.

Different departments of the same entity may have different softwares in the
same categories. Then we identify the group in the entity which should be
the most tech-savvy. We start with them. We then provide localized version
of manuals and training materials. Asynchronous workshops are also arranged.

We also try to find out device drivers for Linux distributions.

Although there are lots of challenges these efforts are worthy.

Thanks,
Shehab
