FUSS was also adopted by some of Bolzano’s preschools whose computer equipment, often dated, mounted insecure versions of proprietary operating systems. Several requests came to the FUSS Team in which directors emphasized the need for up-to-date, usable systems for teachers.
FUSS is used as a reference distribution by the SchoolSwap project in the Province of Bolzano, now reborn under the name SwapToLearn; this digital sustainability and solidarity project aims to recover PCs from companies or public agencies to give them for free to students and families who need a computer to study or work.
The FUSS network of users spans today from the German state of Schleswig-Holstein to the Pantelleria Island.
In Schleswig-Holstein, precisely in the city of Schwentinental, the volunteers of the Computer-Club Klausdorf (CCK) periodically organize Linux Presentation Days for citizens showing them the advantages of using Freee Software and GNU/Linux. The highlight this year was on FUSS. We would like to thank the CCK and Wilhelm Mannertz sincerely for their commitment to spreading the FUSS project to the public—an initiative from Europe that allows students and teachers in many schools to use at home the same software tools used at school.
On Pantelleria we would like to thank Giusi Belvisi for adopting FUSS, contribuiting with very nice wallpapers, and for starting to study and spread the culture of Free Software on the island and at her school in particular.
During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to recover used desktop PCs and laptops to provide to workers in the public and private sectors for smart working, allowed the further dissemination of FUSS as a lightweight operating system suitable for the reuse of computers otherwise no longer usable with proprietary operating systems.
