Alksnis comments on Zubkov’s order on software in educational institutions
I quote:
... "Please note that this Order for the first time says nothing specifically about Microsoft software, but FIRST says about the development and implementation of FREE SOFTWARE.
FIRST, the state offers clear and understandable rules of the game.
')
If the Linux community is ready today to offer a software package that meets modern training requirements and includes all the components defined by this Order, then this package can be approved by the Government of the Russian Federation for implementation in Russian schools. "...
... “The problem is one - urgently need a GOOD Russian distribution of Linux with a package of all necessary programs for educational institutions, adapted for REAL RUSSIAN CONDITIONS. This implies that a biology teacher in the MarIvanna rural school, who was simultaneously appointed to conduct computer science lessons, would be able to independently figure out how to install and work with such a distribution kit. At the same time, please note that the rural school budget does not provide long-distance calls to technical support in order to find out why the operating system or program is not installed or not working.
If such a software package appears and it is more convenient for students than Windows, then in five years, for the first time in Russia, a generation of young people will emerge, free from the drug addiction of Microsoft. ”...
