Casey, I have given talks to various chambers of commerce and school boards regarding the use of Linux in education. My talks show that Linux and Open Source not only save money, but lead to a better and more vibrant learning experience.
I would be happy to give such a talk at a local meeting (Rotary, School board meeting, chamber of commerce) if you could give me the proper contact names. Even though the site plan has not been drawn up, it might be a good time to broach the issue with them, to start them down the path of Open Source. Investigating the software they will need can be a parallel project to that of laying mortar. I think that locating all the software and putting together a software map might be an interesting (and fun) project for gnhlug, but I can not speak for the rest of the group. If you want me to speak in Exeter, I travel quite a bit, so we will have to coordinate dates closely. Warmest regards, md P.S. I estimate the worth of my college education, ammortized over my (so far) thirty years of work experience, to be approximately two million dollars. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
