+<div class="comments">
+<p>The following information was extracted from a report submitted to us
+by Paolo Dongilli, Technical Inspector and Coordinator of the FUSS 
+Project, and member of the Italian School Board of the Autonomous 
+Province of Bolzano.</p>
+</div>
+ 
+<div class="article">
+<hr class="edu-cases" />
+<h3>Location</h3>
+
+<p>The Autonomous Province of Bolzano, also known as South 
+Tyrol&#8239;<a href="#ref1" id="ref1-rev"><sup>1</sup></a>, is 
+located in northen Italy along the Italian and Austrian borders. 
+Official languages in this province are Italian, German, and Ladin. The 
+school system includes educational institutions to serve each of these 
+linguistic communities.</p> 
+
+<h3>About</h3>
+
+<p>The migration to free software of Italian public schools in South 
+Tyrol was accomplished by the FUSS Project (Free Upgrade for a Digitally 
+Sustainable School)&#8239;<a href="#ref2" id="ref2-rev"><sup>2</sup></a> 
+with initial funding from the European Social Fund, supported and 
+sponsored by the Italian Education and Training Directorate of the 
+Autonomous Province of Bolzano, administratively managed by the 
+Vocational Training Institute &ldquo;Luigi Einaudi&rdquo; of Bolzano, in 
+collaboration with the Education and Training Directorate and with the 
+advice and cooperation of the IT company Truelite Srl as a technology 
+partner.</p>

+Project. CC&nbsp;BY-SA&nbsp;4.0</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>The FUSS Project developed a complete GNU/Linux distribution called 
+FUSS, a solution for servers, clients, and desktops based on Debian for
+managing an entire school network (Fig. 1).</p>
+
+<p>FUSS was adopted in all of the 24 primary and secondary Italian 
+schools, installed on 64 servers and around 5,000 computers (used by
+around 16,000 students and 1,900 teachers). It is also used in 22 
+public Italian kindergardens, installed on one PC for each class (a 
+total of 65 classes).</p> 
+
+<p>FUSS has also been adopted outside the local public schools. The 
+Provincial Music School &ldquo;Vivaldi&rdquo; in Bolzano uses 
+exclusively FUSS (1 server, 40 PCs); the &ldquo;Toniolo&rdquo; 
+Scientific and Sports High School runs FUSS in 1 server and 21 PCs. 
+Outside South Tyrol, FUSS is run at the &ldquo;Cornaro&rdquo; Institute 
+in Jesolo (Venice), the &ldquo;Rodolico&rdquo; High School in Florence, 
+and the &ldquo;Savoia-Benincasa&rdquo; Institute in Ancona.</p>
+
+<p>First-level support is provided in each school by at least one 
+teacher who serves as an IT contact person, with a total of about 78 
+teachers throughout the district. They assist teachers and students, 
+handle initial maintenance work, and respond to requests regarding 
+installed software, new software, or training needs.</p>
+
+<p>Every line of code developed as part of the FUSS Project is 
+distributed under a GPLv3 or AGPLv3 license, and all documentation is 
+available under a CC BY-SA license.</p>
+
+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+
+<p>The choice to use free software in schools is beyond economic or 
+technical reasons, it is an ethical and political choice based on the 
+values of computing freedom, access to information, and knowledge 
+sharing.</p>
+
+<p>The use of free software in both the public and private sectors in
+South Tyrol had been explicitly encouraged with the launch in 2004 of 
+an Action Plan&#8239;<a href="#ref3" id="ref3-rev"><sup>3</sup></a> that 
+called for the adoption of free software and the establishement of a 
+Free Software Competence Center. The document paved the way for the FUSS 
+Project to follow up on those lines. Years later, FUSS was in full
+compliance with the new national legislation for software acquisition 
+and reuse&#8239;<a href="#ref4" id="ref4-rev"><sup>4</sup></a>.</p>
+
+<p>The FUSS Project team also believed (and this has been confirmed)
+that free software would result in economic savings, compared to the 
+purchase of expensive recurring licenses from vendors such as Microsoft
+or Apple. It would also extend the life of hardware through free 
+software-based replacements.</p>
+
+<h3>How We Did It</h3>
+
+<p>Planning began in January 2005, with an implementation phase during 
+the summer of that year. FUSS went into operation in September, at the 
+beginning of the new school year (2005/2006).</p>
+
+<p>The project promoted a model of sustainable and democratic 
+digitilization from the beginning, favored by local political parties 
+and school leaders in Italian-speaking schools. A strong synergy and 
+convergence of purpose was created between politics, public and private 
+sectors.</p>
+
+<p>Work started with an analysis of the state of the hardware in the 
+entire school district, preparation of software packages&mdash;such as 
+fuss-server (configuration of server-side services)&mdash;and 
+fuss-client (configuration of networked PCs), and development of a set 
+of tools to make server and client installation faster and more 
+automated. Free replacements for proprietary applications previously 
+used in the schools were found and adopted.</p>
+
+<p>A comprehensive systems administration training course was also 
+developed and implemented. The FUSS group, consisting of seven teachers 
+and one administrator, was tasked not only with managing the technical 
+side (hardware and software), but also with carrying out the activities 
+to support teaching, helping teachers and students to better manage the 
+resources available with the new FUSS environment.</p>
+
+<p>As might be expected, typical barriers were encountered. There were
+users who did not want to step out of their comfort zone (because they 
+were using Windows or MacOS on their private devices). Fortunately, 
+these people were a minority: most teachers understood the importance of 
+this change, and students started using GNU/Linux without any difficulty.</p>
+
+<h3>Commitment to Free Software</h3>
+
+<div class="pict wide">

+alt="Photo of a FUSS computer lab showing around twenty PC screens." /></a>
+<p>Computer lab of the Secondary School &ldquo;Ada Negri&rdquo; in 
+Bolzano. Copyright &copy; FUSS Project. CC&nbsp;BY-SA&nbsp;4.0</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>Over the years, server-side services have been added. Just to name 
+the most significant ones: Octofuss (server and user management), 
+Octomon (technical monitoring of installations), OctoNet (the management 
+tool for each school), a provincial VPN network connecting all schools,
+and VOIP services for some schools.</p>
+
+<p>Regarding the use of web (so-called &ldquo;cloud&rdquo;) 
+applications, the FUSS Project for years has provided teachers with the 
+e-learning platforms Moodle and Chamilo, LimeSurvey for surveys, and 
+Group Office as a collaboration platform. The latter was replaced with 
+NextCloud and LibreOffice Online, to which BigBlueButton (BBB) and 
+PeerTube were added.</p>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p>Free Software offers schools and students unique educational 
+opportunities. Students who find computers and their operation 
+intriguing have the chance to work hands-on with technology without the
+restrictions imposed by proprietary licenses and unavailable source 
+code.</p>

+
+<p>One example is the case of high school student Marco 
+Marinello&#8239;<a href="#ref5" id="ref5-rev"><sup>5</sup></a>, who began 
+volunteering for the development of the project and ultimately found 
+himself programming, learning languages such as HTML, Bash scripting and 
+Python on his own. Marco then ported the FUSS distribution to ARM 
+processors and installed Raspberry Pi in the computer lab of one of the 
+schools in Bolzano. He also gave several presentations to teachers and 
+technicians at his school.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>&ldquo;FUSS has given me the great opportunity
+to approach and learn the importance of Free Software
+and for that I am very grateful.&rdquo; <br />
+&mdash;Marco Marinello</p>
+</blockquote>
+</li>
+
+<li>Students and teachers can work at home with the same free tools used 
+at school without any cost burden on families.</li> 
+
+<li>Public money has been spent to create public value (code, 
+documentation, shared experience) by helping to achieve in the digital 
+sphere the primary goal of the school: the sharing of knowledge.</li> 
+
+<li>The FUSS Project created new software and manuals, reused and 
+modified existing ones, and shared the results not only nationally but 
+also internationally.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Tips for Success</h3>
+
+<p>Here are some pieces of advice, in the hope that the experience of 
+the FUSS Project may help other schools achieve success in 
+migrating to free software as a powerful engine for teaching and 
+technological freedom and innovation.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>In presenting a project plan to your school or school district, in 
+addition to highlighting the ethical reasons and all the technical and 
+economic benefits, emphasize how sustainable digitalization based on 
+free software, open formats, and freely available educational materials 
+improves knowledge sharing, promotes nontraditional educational 
+opportunities, and extends access to students and families that might 
+not otherwise have with proprietary systems.</li>
+
+<li>Do not underestimate the importance of communicating and 
+collaborating with teachers, managers, students, their families, local 
+political leaders, and the community as a whole, including local free 
+software communities (GNU/Linux User Groups, Hacker Spaces, Fab Labs, 
+etc.).</li>
+
+<li>Of uttermost importance is training, to help all participants get 
+acquainted and feel comfortable with the new environment.</li>
+
+<li>Do not try to reinvent the wheel, reuse what is freely available.
+Look around to see if there are examples of other institutions, schools, 
+associations that you can follow and what free software you wish to 
+reuse.</li> 
+
+<li>One step at a time. Suggest the adoption of free/libre packages such 
+as LibreOffice to your local public administration; this will positively
+influence their perception of free software as it will prove an 
+efficient tool with nothing to envy its proprietary counterparts.</li>
+
+<li>Invest money in motivated people, regardless of their 
+role&mdash;technicians, developers, teachers, students.</li> 
+
+<li>Finally, share everything you create (software, documentation, 
+teaching materials). By doing so, you will be spreading the word about
+your work and creating awarness about the benefits of sharing.</li>
+</ul>

+
+<div class="article">
+<p>Italy consists of 20 administrative divisions called 
+&ldquo;regions,&rdquo; fifteen of which have ordinary statutes, and five 
+are autonomous under special statutes that grant them particular forms 
+of autonomy.</p> 
+
+<p>Below are listed some of the educational institutions in Italy that 
+are using free/libre software.</p>
+
+<h3>Schools in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol</h3>
+
+<p>Trentino-Alto Adige (<i>Südtirol</i> in German and Ladin) is
+one of the five autonomous regions. It consists of two provinces: Trento 
+and Bolzano&mdash;the province of Bolzano is also known as <a 
+href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Tyrol";>South Tyrol</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Official languages in South Tyrol are Italian, German, and Ladin. The 
+school system includes educational institutions for each of these 
+languages: 78 for German, 24 for Italian, and 7 for Ladin.</p> 
+
+<p>All Italian-language schools in South Tyrol were <a
