KDE@schools
This section contains information how KDE could be presented at schools. It was created during a Google Code-in project.
Main Ideas for making a successful presentation
- A presentation about KDE software can be organised (the duration of the talk should be about 40-50 minutes)
- After the presentation, a short workshop should follow (in the school laboratory) giving the chance to students to interact with KDE's desktop environment and try some of its programs.
- CDs with KDE software as well as other promotional material can be hand out to students (for example marketing flyers etc.).
- After the presentation, forming a team of students who are willing to volunteer and promote such software would be a great idea. A help desk could be set up (something like a booth in our school) so that students will feel free to ask questions and/or request support for their problems.
- Organizing meetings should be also a great idea in order to collaborate with other students and decide on how we can proceed
- Updating the school's website with information about KDE and FOSS is a good note.
- Last but not least, before the students who form the team of volunteers graduate from school, they should try to find younger students who are willing to volunteer. As a result, the spirit of KDE and FOSS software will continue to live forever in the school.
Additional tips on how to approach students
- The cost is not something as valuable as quality. It is of vital importance that we focus on KDE's strengths.
We could mention that KDE software is :
- fast
- easy-to-use
- easy-to-learn
- easy-to-interact-with
- reliable
- stable
- and FREE
- Design a small flyer in your language that will provide smalls tips to students and make their life on KDE easier
- Provide CDs, flyers and other marketing material to students for free
- Make the students LOVE KDE and FOSS in general by focusing on the strengths of the COMMUNITY
