[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu Township Outreach

[William Walter Kinghorn]

Hi Frank,

The problem with the "expert", is that they generally have jobs, so they can only help out after hours, when they are tired ad don't want to see a computer or be asked questions

That is why we need to make the experts, by providing training for the School Computer Club initially, and then let the now "experts" teach the new club members, and then these now "experts" teach the new club members, recursively, I hope you know what I mean

Once this is set up, the "experts" that you are talking about, will only be there as a backup if anything major happens, where the teachers and students can't fix it

Will still need to setup a Schools LUG, where schools get together, so that they can collaborate with the experts, and other schools

William

Agreed.

I think staying involved, even if it is electronically, is critical.
Having an expert to ask about things is the only way for such a school
to really get into a computer environment.
