Ciao a tutti. Allego un paio di contributi dalla mailing list dell'ISOC =
dedicata al "public software". Il primo in particolare mi sembra =
interessante nell'ottica di un approccio graduale alla diffusione di =
software open source.

Hello,

My name is Henrik Nilsen Omma, and I am one of the project leaders of a =
new=20
Open Source Project called TheOpenCD. Our aim is to create a simple to =
use CD=20
distribution of Open Source software for Windows, and in that way spread =
the=20
OSS message. I'm writing to various LUGs to announce the launch of our =
first=20
edition, and hope that you might find it a useful tool in promoting =
Linux and=20
OSS to a wider public.

The disc allows new users can try out Open Source software (OSS) in the =
comfort
of their own, familiar operating system, rather than having to take the =
drastic
step of reformatting their hard drive to install Linux or BSD. The =
collection,
which includes OpenOffice.org, AbiWord and Beonex is primarily intended =
for
non-technical computer users. However, we expect that the disc will =
appeal
first to experienced OSS users, who will hopefully find it a useful =
vehicle by
which to introduce OSS to their less computer-savvy friends.

We invite all OSS enthusiasts to download the ISO, burn CDs and =
distribute them
widely to friends, local schools, universities, and companies. We =
further
encourage you all to stop by our to comment, discuss and contribute!

Best wishes,

  Henrik Nilsen Omma
  & TheOpenCD Team
