I've decided to go ahead with the Linux Learner Loaner project (L3.) I'll be working on my own, but I felt it would be appreciated to have some awareness / input by the EUGLUG. I will post a explanatory video on YouTube to get the ball rolling. After some potential input from the EUGLUG I will produce a finished video as an introduction to the potential teacher participant (K-12.) I will be soliciting participants through the Eugene Neighborhood Associations; and, do to my limited mobility as a bicyclist, I will be restricting participants to a range I can support (to be determined.)
I will provide all the hardware to include: computer (1.1 GHz Celeron, 512 RAM,) KVM switch, USB Modem (if needed,) router (if needed.) Lorraine if your monitoring I could use a power cord for an HP all-in-one printer/scanner to see if it's working and I can integrate it. I'll give you the model number when I hear back from you (it's at the shop.) The loan duration is the summer school break. I will deliver, recover the equipment, and provide phone support during the loan period. This first summer will be an introduction to the hardware, wiping the computer, installing Ubuntu 8.04, and understanding the desktop, connecting to the Internet, and some simple applications, such as how to burn a CD, etc. I will be including a Video CD to provide training modules on each phase of the learning process. These modules will be designed for ease of use and simplicity of technical jargon. Future summer's will involve arts program and science program emphasis. Brian
