This initiative is part of The Smart Island national strategy, announced by the Minister for Investment, Industry and IT Austin Gatt. It complements other initiatives aimed at introducing affordable technology for all, such as the Blueskies scheme and the scheme through which reconditioned computers can be bought at a nominal price starting from €130.
The scheme offers StarOffice 8 Sun Microsystems software, which includes StarWriter (word-processor), StarCalc (spreadsheet), StarImpress (digital presentation), StarDraw (for painting) and StarBase (database). Students, teachers and disabled persons may register for the software by downloading the application forms from www.thesmartisland.gov. Registrations will be open up until the 11th of April.
