Frequently Asked Questions
Is LAMS seeking funding for further development?
Yes. The various service offerings of LAMS International are designed to provide useful support services to individual educational organisations at a modest cost while at the same time helping to provide funding for further development of the LAMS software. If you are an individual educational organisation who would like to support LAMS, we encourage you to join one of our trial/support programs to assist you with implementing LAMS, while at the same time helping us to continue its development. For further details of this option, contact info@lamsinternational.com.
For larger organisations with a broad mission to support education, such as government education departments, charitable foundations, etc, LAMS is seeking assistance with core R&D funding. As giving way software for free is an expensive business, LAMS relies on support from organisations that have significant funding at their disposal to support the transformation of education. While the LAMS business model has been built to grow into a self-sustaining structure in the long term, further funding is important in the first three years to ensure LAMS achieves all of its potential benefits. For further details of this option, contact Professor James Dalziel at james@lamsfoundation.com.
For commercial organisations who wish to benefit from including LAMS in their commercial offerings, LAMS provides opportunities to contribute funding towards further development through options such as non-GPL licensing, and certification of hardware and services offerings that incorporate LAMS.
