AssalamoAlekum wa Rahmatullah (Peace and Blessings of God up on you all)
Greetings of the Day

I'm Iqbal Sajid from Pakistan. A new member in this group. I'm living in
Saudi Arabia. I'm in Education for many years.

LibreOffice is a fantastic product and Open Source overall wonderful, BUT I
don't find many people using it or at least knowing it. Why?
Reason what I've observed: We don't have any books on Open Source (Linux
OS) and LibreOffice (or any open source office) for KIDS.
All kids, mine, kids of my sisters, brothers, cousins studying in Pakistan,
India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, UK, USA, UAE (where my relatives are), are
being taught in Schools, even in Colleges and Universities ONLY how to use
Windows, How to use MS Office. Reason behind this, I don't find any books
for KIDS on LibreOffice, Linux, etc.
In my opinion, if we want a change worldwide, we should create books for
kids, and then reach schools, and educational ministries of countries to
adapt this course starting from kindergarten. Then we can see a change in a
period of 10 years of so.

Thanks
