Support Open and ISO standard file formats ISO 26300 odf
http://www.odfalliance.org
Next Linux User Group meet : March 7th : 3pm,  Shoreline Cafe Paignton


you could give them a copy of the openeducationdisc,  which has lots of
stuff aimed at education

perhaps go to odfalliance.org and print of a few pages about odf, and
who is currently supporting / using it

point them in the direction of ubuntu, or maybe edubuntu, skool linux
(correct spelling someone perhaps)

perhaps push to wards open source then go to Linux,  as mentioned before
once you can use openoffice in windows, its something you can then go
and use under ubuntu,   going stright to linuxmeans a new user
interface, and a different operating system,  let alone web browser,
mail client etc
