[Hamara-devel] why do I share education news, videos etc. which are not part of the distro.

Hi all,
You may have noticed that I share all kinds of education news, also 
links of TED videos which have nothing to do with the distro. The thing 
is our customer would not just look for expertise just with the 
software, although that would be a big part of it, s+he would also also 
be looking at both arguments how these tools could help with educating 
children. Most teachers know that the syllabus that is there was 
relevant in the past and has not kept pace either with the changing 
times or with the needs of the employer or the student. That is why they 
would be coming to us.

So we need to curate our argument not just with good software but also 
studies, literature, videos which tell hamara's point of View. Whoever 
is dealing with a school or an educational institute is speaking on 
behalf of hamara and is the community lead at that moment. Which means 
all the intelligence, the resources and understanding that we can give 
to the person of the ground will hold him+er in good stead.

I hope I am able to clarify the same.

Another reason is many of these videos could also be re-used to make our 
arguments in all kinds of social media as well which hopefully will 
generate some arguments, some interests as well.

Looking forward to feedback.
