Near the end of May I posted some documents to augment the The Case of SchoolNet Namibia. Feel free to make wiki versions within the links on the left of the table on that page.

• Large-scale migration to an open source office suite: An innovation adoption study in Finland - another candidate case study?

The New Zealand schools case studies are basically done, with room for expansion on their current status (ongoing) and future prospects. This completes the first preparatory phase of the work for the FTA case studies module with the following offered (in addition to the UOC-supplied case studies) for refinement and inclusion among the course materials:

• Free Software and People & Planet
• The Case of SchoolNet Namibia
• Free Software at Warrington School
• Free Software at Albany Senior High School

Comments are always welcome, along with ideas for learning activities and new case studies.

Thanks for the feedback so far and in advance ....
