[Ubuntu-BD] FOSS & Ubuntu in Bangladesh

[Shumon]

You're right Shamim. Perhaps one doesn't have to be an OS expert. But you
know, most people, like myself, don't want to figure every single thing out
for themselves, nor can we. We depend on others to help us sometimes. If we
didn't build on each other's expertise, we'd still be in the stone ages, no?
So all I'm recommending is for some expert(s) to figure out the solutions
for seamless migration and then communicate it to the 10s of us. Then a few
amongst those 10s who have the teaching talent can easily teach it to
thousands. That's how civilizations get built.

I'd like to use Mehdi Hasan Khan, the developer of Avro & a
maven<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maven>,
as an example. He, being socially minded, having the talent and the
discipline, has almost single handedly changed Bangla online for all of us.
Now in hindsight we may say it was inevitable. Not so if we go back to 2004
and look forward. Similarly we need one or a few such mavens for Ubuntu in
Bangladesh to identify the core problems, solve them then share it. Again I
don't know who those persons are and nor am I qualified to be one, but at
the least I can be a cheerleader for them and a proselytizer for their
knowledge. So, if you're such a maven or know of such mavens, please let's
get together to bring about this evolution in Bangladesh and kick Microsoft
to the curb!
