I think it varies with the country and perhaps the State. In Australia we have "Parent-Teacher Associations", which could be the best place to reach parents directly. Also, the degree of autonomy of individual schools can vary a lot with the country and the state. Marc is, I believe, in Canada, which may have quite a different system than in the USA, for example. One person with experience getting free software into schools is Christian Einfeldt, a California lawyer and free software activist, who is based in San Francisco. Ian will remember Christian from that Linux expo we attended in San Diego some years ago. He's very active on Twitter these days; among other things, he talks about his successes (and failures) getting free s/w into schools. http://twitter.com/einfeldt --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
