Today I met with personnel from the Laconia library and TechLink to further discuss putting Knoppix/Morphix CDs and FOSS CDs in the libraries for lending out as well as helping in senior centers. TechLink provides computer/internet access at 12 locations in the North country.
They are very interested in moving this program along and they will be putting these tools out there for the public. Over the next month I will be finalizing the CDs and developing the textual material to go with them. At the end of this month, I will be making a presentation to all the TechLink volunteers to familiarize them with the CDs and to discuss/promote Linux and Open Source. So this is a neat development and has the potential to become a program over much of the state. I hope to put up on the GNLUG and Centralug site more info so people can contribute ideas and suggestions and criticisms. I can see needing volunteers soon to keep this flying. For now it is easier to just move it myself with limited help. I think we will have a very nice Knoppix based CD for ham radio which can be distributed at Hosstraders ready in a week or so. Finally, while I have not gotten back to it, there is an effort underway to incorporate Linux and OpenSource alternatives into the documents provided by the NH Dept. of Education to school districts concerning developing technology plans. This could be another project that greatly increases the visability of both in schools across NH. So stuff is happening and I am indicating in these projects that I am a memeber of GNHLUG and speak of GNHLUG as I move through these projects. Given out lack of formal organization, I just assume I can do so as long as I do not obligate GNHLUG to a specific course of action.
