To be fair, Chris Calise had announced that a long time ago (see ~~~clip~~
w/o all the formatting clutter). He came to a Thu. clinic at Emerald Park
about a month ago. I talked a bit with him, and then he talked to Bob (VP)
and gave him his card.
I thought Chris had some good ideas, and if it wouldn't be for the David
Basarmian talk today at the same time I would be at EFN .... Horst.

Greetings,
You are cordially invited to an introductory brainstorming session to
create a group to promote and support the use of open source software and
the Linux Terminal Server Project in Lane County. The mission of this
group will be to serve as an umbrella organization for local Linux
advocacy groups and individuals volunteering for this project.
Through the beginning efforts Tim Rogers, JR Dallas of Head Start of Lane
County and myself, we have received a request for LTSP projects at
Pleasant Hill Middle school (10 terminals) and also Dexter library. We
will need volunteers to help train and support administrators and/or
teachers as this project expands. One of the issues on the opening agenda
will be how to best implement this support system (mentors?).
It is my hope to keep this ball rolling and to expand these pilot LTSP
networks to as many schools, libraries, governments, and non-profits as
possible but your volunteer help is needed. It is also my hope that this
umbrella group will be an effective force for change in Lane County.
Where: Eugene Free Net office
43 W. Broadway
Eugene
When: May 2
7 pm
I hope you will be able to attend, and bring your ideas.
Thank you.
