Cool! Linux Thin Clients will be demonstrated at NECC, the largest educational/technology conference in the USA. This is similar to the demonstrations, keynote and seminar that we will give at Computer Expo 2002 at the Blaisdell in October.
From: Paul Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: OSN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [K12OSN] K12Linux heads for Texas... Hello Folks, Well, tomorrow morning at 5:50 am (just a few hours and 20 more K12LTSP CD sets away...) I'll be off for the NECC conference in Texas. www.neccsite.org This is the largest education/technology conference in the USA. There will be 10,000+ teachers there. Thanks to the generosity of Red Hat and Linuxfund.org, K12LTSP will be there too. I'm taking our Linux Toaster http://www.riverdale.k12.or.us/linux/toaster/ We're hoping it will get by airport security with no problems. ;-) The toaster is really a K12LTSP terminal server. I'll also have a NIC from thinknic.com and a Windows 2000 terminal server running on my laptop. Once it's all plugged in, we'll be able to show how well all this software works during a 2 hour session on Tuesday. I've also scheduled several meetings with various people interested in Linux in Schools. This is the best place to talk with folks from all over the country. One goal we have in addition to showing teachers what Linux can do for their schools is to demonstrate it to hardware vendors. We'll also give away a hundred CD-Rom sets of K12LTSP. I wish that number had another couple of digits in it but we do what we can... I've worked up a set of slides that I'll post to the web site later this week so others can use them. Thanks again to Red Hat and Linuxfund.org for helping with this trip. With school budgets so tight here in Oregon, there is no way I could have gone without their support. ;-) Paul -- ========================================================== Paul Nelson...................
