Dear team, it would be grate if your institution/organisation could follow us in Twitter. There are the official pages that should give us a "follow". https://twitter.com/ditofficial https://twitter.com/UNIofSkovde https://twitter.com/OpenForumEurope https://twitter.com/fsfe At the moment we have only 13 followers, a very small number to disseminate our project goals. Thank you for your support.

by Katerina Tsinari 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Dear partners, this is to inform you that I have just uploaded in our common Keybase repository the document: - draft version of the Management, Coordination and Evaluation Plan. File name: MCE Plan_20180111_v.01. Where? In the Management folder. Plase take a quick look at the text before our next telco, where we will decide how to proceed with this as well as the documents drafted by Dlearn.

[FOSS4SMEs-team] FOSS4SMEs - O1/A1 updates and next steps
by Francesco Agresta EUROCREA 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Dear partners, as today we are closing the first part of our work on the desk and field research (O1/A1), I would like to give you some guidance on the next steps and some clarifications on this Activity. Quoting from p.8 of the related Methodological Framework, "The tangible deliverables of the research phase will be the country reports developed by each partner, describing the results of the desk research (existing curricula, training material, qualifications) and field research (preliminary findings). The deadline for this delivery is by March 2018. " 1. DELIVERABLE O1/A1: To avoid any possible confusion on the matter, please allow me to clarify once more that the only tangible deliverable for O1/A1 are the 6 country reports, one per each partner. The final version of the country reports will include both results of the DESK research and of the FIELD research (i.e. the questionnaire). In coordination with the Project Manager we have decided to extend the deadline for the delivery of the reports until the 23rd of March. 2. DESK RESEARCH RESULTS: o The desk research includes two sections: the first section is about collecting training courses and their materials from all over Europe, while the second focusses on national curricula relevant to FOSS. o In order to try and avoid overlapping between our results of European training materials, I had proposed you the use of an online collaborative sheet, updating in real time, in which we can indicate our entries. In line with the concept of our project, I have used Only Office, a FOSS tool, and created the following link: <http://onlyo.co/2BegOhd> http://onlyo.co/2BegOhd We will use this, unless someone proposes a better solution. 3. NEW DEADLINE FOR THE FIELD RESEARCH: Since it seems that we still have poor responses from our survey, and given the turnover in two of our partners' persons in charge, I would suggest to leave the survey open for two weeks more (i.e. until the 15th of March), in order to give everyone the opportunity to collect the results required (20 representatives of national SMEs are to be involved). Feel free to use Twitter to promote the survey. There is a ready Twit from our official page here: https://twitter.com/FOSS4SMEs/status/968466922009440257 4. FIELD RESEARCH RESULTS: Once the survey is closed, every partner shall access the questionnaire dashboard with the credentials already shared, click on "Responses" on the menu at the top-right of the page, then "Responses and statistics" -> "Export" -> "Export results to application" and then download the results in the preferred file format. Then you shall report on the data collected, analysing it and drawing conclusions on the results of the research. For that you can follow the main categories of the questionnaire: 1.Demographics, 2.Level of knowledge & perception, 3.The use of FOSS in everyday business activity, 4.The obstacles (actual and perceived) to a migration to FOSS, 5.Learning programme, 6.Summary of main results. Use graphics and charts to show data trends, as this would help comparisons between the different country reports. This has to be included in a third section of your country report, which will then be finalised. 5. NEXT STEP: Building on the results of the research as a whole (O1/A1) , starting from April we will shift to O1/A2, the "ECVET CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT", which has its deadline on the 30th of June. Please don't hesitate to ask for any further clarifications or feedback on these activities. And of course share your suggestions, if you have any. Thank you very much for your effort!

[FOSS4SMEs-team] FOSS4SMEs: 4th telco
by Katerina Tsinari 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Dear team members, thank you for the adventurous meeting today. I created a new poll for our 4th meeting in March here: https://framadate.org/Azo5Hprzge4Hmlgn We will check the status of the survey, the feedback on the MCE Plan, the status of our country reports, the agenda for the meeting in Berlin and other upcoming issues. You can always let me know, if u having sth to add to the agenda. The suggested time is again UTC and the meeting will take place in Framatalk since the new tool didnt work out so well (or Skype in worst case).

[FOSS4SMEs-team] FOSS4SMEs Desk Research - Template and deadline
by francesco.agresta＠dlearn.eu 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Dear partners, at this stage of our project we should all start to work on the O1/A1 Desk Research Report, which every partner has to develop by the 28th of February 2018. In this regard, I would like to provide all of you with a proposed template (thank you Katerina for your help), that comes attached with this email. The template will help us to draft country reports looking similar in aspect and type of contents, making all our works coherent and aligned to a common reference. I would like to recall you that, according to our proposal, the section "COLLECTION OF EXISTING COURSES, TRAINING MATERIALS AND CONTENTS RELEVANT TO FOSS - Business User" refers to FOSS training tools and materials across all Europe, while in the section "EXISTING CURRICULA AT NATIONAL LEVEL" you shall only make reference to qualifications in your country that may be relevant for the FOSS-BU competence profile, . Of course feel free to shape the report at your convenience, provided that the general structure remains the same. The tables are just intended to collect and organise the main details about the results of your research. Use then free text and/or other layouts to go deeper in your elaboration, should you find it necessary. Thank you! Best, Francesco

[FOSS4SMEs-team] Your availability for the next meeting in Berlin
by Max Mehl 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Dear all, Sorry for the delay in the date scheduling for our next physical meeting in Berlin. We have found quite a few possible days and I would like to ask you to share your availability as soon as possible so we can arrange a room. https://framadate.org/foss4smes-meeting-berlin Based on the results we will try to find *2 consecutive days* on which all/most of the team members can participate. Please note that I've chosen only business days because this will be much easier and cheaper for flights, hotel and conference rooms in Berlin. Thank you!

Dear all, I have tried to create a logo for our project to be used either in reports or in the website etc. I hope you like it :) I have used both suggested websites and could create four alternatives. The analysis is not the best, but at least I had to pay no money. You can find them in our Keybase folder under: x:\team\foss4smes\2. Implementation\Project Logo Please make a choice using the poll I created: https://framadate.org/VhNRNudKZl6lZf8p I will announce our favourite one/decision in our telco next Tuesday.

[FOSS4SMEs-team] Errors in survey + questions for usage
by Max Mehl 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Dear all, I received feedback by a CEO in Germany regarding the survey: we have some errors in the survey, so if you don't object please let us fix them in the various language versions. * Q10: SugarCRM is no longer Free Software. We should rather use SuiteCRM, a quite successful fork which is still FOSS * Q10: "Kolab" is no E-Mail client, it rather is a server solution. I recommend to just remove it Furthermore, I have some questions for the results' usage: * How will we publish the results? Can we share the raw data if we obfuscate personal information? * How long will the survey run? In Germany I think we can use the network of a business association but I'm not sure how long they will need to send out the survey to their contacts. Thanks for your thought!
