Why should we use free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) for education? This presentation focuses on India, but is equally applicable for all across the globe.
1. FLOSS for Education
The most fundamental way of helping other people is to teach people
how to do things better, to tell people things that you know that will
enable them to better their lives. For people who use computers, this
means sharing the recipes you use on your computer, in other words the
programs you run.
