Training for Open Source: a need not a luxury
The authors have submitted a full-length paper:
http://fkft.eu/2008/papers/vanleeuwen.pdf
Despite the fact that public sector's interest in open source is intensifying, and there is an increasing demand for skills related to Open Source applications, both from a user as well as from a developer point of view, the uptake in educational and vocational training programmes is not yet mainstream. The TRAIN-OS project presends to give and answer to this challenge by providing access to F/OSS training materials, based upon an analysis of the needs of the trainers and trainees. The paper will present the results from the research and will provide insight on the information, knowledge and training needs from European trainers. Keywords: Training, Open Source
