My next bit or research focused on the types of issues that may arise from implementing open source in a school. I hope by knowing what types of problems may arise that I will be able to know what to look out for. This will help us to address some concerns that may be raised by the readers of our white paper. I hope that we can address these concerns before the readers get it in their mind that this may not work for them. There are 5 key questions that were raised in an article I found. The first one was about how will your current systems be compatible with the new systems. Another thought is can the operating system run the programs that are necessary. The third question is what type of hardware will be required? The fourth question is can your IT support the open source software? I hope to find more information about these areas so these questions will not be a concern. I found an article about Indiana schools who are implementing open source solutions for their schools. I hope to be able to use some of the information from this article to supplement our white paper on open source.
