Sharing Knowledge about Free Software Background of SELF 1. Free Software and Open Standards are crucial to support the competitive position of the European software industry; 2. the real and long term technological change from proprietary to free software can only come by investing in education and training; and 3.the production of educational and training materials on Free Software and Open Standards should be done collaboratively by all parties involved.

Sharing Knowledge about Free Software Why SELF? Factors holding back the adoption of Free Software: ● lack of awareness ● perceived lack of (internal) technical support ● lack of qualified teachers ● lack of educational and training materials (fragmentation)

Sharing Knowledge about Free Software Mission ● SELF aims to facilitate the sharing of knowledge about Free Software and Open Standards ● by providing an open educational platform ● based on world class technology ● with accessible and quality materials ● by a worldwide community

Sharing Knowledge about Free Software Strategic objectives 1.to bring together universities, training centres, Free Software communities, software companies, publishing houses and government bodies to facilitate mutual support and exchange of educational and training materials on Free Software and Open Standards. 2.to centralise, transmit and enlarge the available knowledge on Free Software and Open Standards by creating a Platform for the development, distribution and use of information, educational and training programmes about Free Software and its main applications. 3.to raise awareness and contribute to the building of critical mass for the use of Free Software and Open Standards.

Sharing Knowledge about Free Software Concrete project objectives (1) 1. to research the state of the art of currently available Free Software educational and training programmes and detect the potential gaps. 2. to create an open Platform for the development, distribution and use of information, educational and training programmes on Free Software and Open Standards.

Sharing Knowledge about Free Software Concrete project objectives (2) 3. to develop educational and training materials concerning Free Software and Open Standards. The project aims for including information on at least 50 software applications in the initial period. 4. to make the SELF Platform self-sustainable by creating an active community of individuals and institutions (universities, training centres, Free Software communities, software companies, publishing houses and government bodies) around it. The SELF project aims for involving at least 150 members in the SELF community by the end of the project.

Sharing Knowledge about Free Software What is the SELF platform? ● a repository with educational materials about: – Free Software – Open Standards ● a collaborative production facility ● a community of interested users
