Objective goalsGive the set of open source software to our students in one compact formGive the tutorial data and set of tools to high schools in one compact formPrepare set of useful tutorials for used softwarePrepare data from the Czech republic available free of chargeAdvertise open source GIS toolsAdvertise OS LinuxGIS on Linux 4all

IdeasGive the platform for distribution of educational materialsGive the platform for making tutorials and educational materialsMake the tools, that automatically made tutorials with defined rules and give users possibilities for easy distributions tutorialsGIS on Linux 4all
