Hi all,

Being an Ubuntu user in South Africa, I participate in the South African
Loco team. This team has taken an approach that might be of value to
this list.

They are trying to generate focused discussion on some relevant topics.
They have designated a month for each topic.
The first month was education.
The second month (April), is Small Business

...Software Development 

...System Administrators 

... Spreading Ubuntu in South Africa 

...Translations

The thoughts and information generated during these months are posted on
a wiki.

idea)

the month of education)


Perhaps this list could attempt something similar. If we picked three or
four issues relating to linux (not exclusively Ubuntu) that could be
relevant from the perspective of Christian ministry...

Eg.... Church Website development,  Software (church management and song
services, bible softwate etc.), Promotion and advocacy of linux in
churches .......etc.

It might be possible to put together some expertise, resources, ideas on
each of these topics that would be helpful for Christian users of Linux.

It might also highlight areas where input or advocacy is needed, or
needs that still need to be met, etc.

I am sure that the Ubuntu-ZA loco team would not mind if we did
something similar.

This is just a proposition in the light of the discussion of this
thread. It does not have to be accepted.

God Bless
