Re: NH STATE LINUX PRESENTATION

[Jon 'maddog' Hall, Executive Director, Linux International]

Bob,

I appreciate you trying to include everyone on this, but quite frankly a
"10 minute talk" does not even start before it is finished.

My suggestion is that we all develop materials for this talk, and one or two
people actually present it.  Other people can be there to answer questions,
etc.

For my part, I can put together three or four slides with three or four "talking"
bullets" on each one about case studies:

        o Garden Grove (a classic in government)
        o Education
        o Burlington Coat (business, and nearby)
        o beowulf systems

Then I can supply the background information (Linux Journal articles) on each
one for the presenter to "brush up" on.

Because the LPI stuff is so important and (relatively) complex, if Dan can
make the dates, I recommend:

        Dan York: Linux Case studies, LPI Certification and education (20+ min)
        Linux use in DHHS (8 min)
        Randy Edwards: Linux in Education (10 min)

I am not sure what the "two bridges analogy" is, but I think it should be
tucked in with something else.  Two minutes is just too short of a segway for
something important.

In any case, between my hectic schedule and the fact that my back is acting
up again (and I will have to be spending time in and out of hospitals on
unknown dates), I would rather not be in the mainstream for this, other
than helping out with the slides and notes.

My two cents.
