<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div style>I totally agree with you Nordin. Students must focus on their language skills, not only English but French and many other languages too. </div><div style><br></div><div style>One thing I don't really understand, what would a Moroccan Linux distro add ?</div>
<div style>One, most Moroccans don"t even know that alternatives to Windows and MacOS exist. Two, even students are not interested by using those alternatives, especially Linux, for the simple reason that they're blinded by the myth of its advanced technicality. Well, it's technical, but anybody can dig into it and learn it. I did it, and I believe anybody can do it.</div>
<div style>But, the real issue here is that students are stuck in their intellectual laziness & their lack of will to learn properly. Thus, a Moroccan Linux distro is not the answer. You should start by introducing Linux to people, I mean do more efforts to make the OS of choice for students and all apprentices. The reason why UNIX was successful in the laste 70s was because a whole generation trained on it. I believe the same thing is happening all around the world for Linux, except in Morocco where Microsoft is pushing its products with ferocity, thus, flooding the Moroccan market with its rubbish. Baby steps are usually the wisest approach. </div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Just a question, do you think there are great Moroccan systems programmers (I don't say there aren't) with the required skills and willing to spend the necessary man-hours into such project ? I wrote an OS alone, it took me 4 years to make it usable (my code is clean, very clean). And, of all the people I know, rare are those capable of that !</div>

<div>Why would Morocco need an own Linux
distribution?<br>
It doesn't make any sense, just use an existing stable Linux
distro like Ubuntu or Mint or other flavors.<br>
What are the benefits for having your own Moroccan distro?<br>
<br>
I really think that Moroccan technical students should learn
English language well, because that's the language for
programming, science and so on...<br>
Even the great masters of technique like the Germans use English
language to talk and discuss about computer science with other
people all over the world. French is nice for tourism, but science
in computer technology and physics you better learn English
language and cooperate with other computer science students all
over the world.<br>
<br>
You know what a good idea is?<br>
Promote OpenStreetMap!<br>
Morocco needs a free digital map for everybody and all moroccan
people can contribute to this project. Today a lot of people in
Morocco has an Android smartphone with built in GPS device. It's a
matter of downloading an openstreetmap app and put your city on
map.<br>
OpenStreetMap for Morocco inchallah!<div><div class="h5"><br>
