How did this happen with nobody in KPLUG finding out about it until
halfway through the first phase? This effort must have started many

That's easy. If you are shoving through a Linux initiative and you have
any political sense, you are going push it through *very* quietly and
try to hide your name.
Otherwise, the Microsoft Gestapo will show up at your door ASAP.
Who is the key Linux enthusiast with the district's ear pushing this
through? Can we get him to talk at a meeting about how he did it?
Given that it just went public, we need to find out who he is. He's
about to need help against Microsoft.
LUG's often want to help out with implementing Linux in schools but are
almost always stonewalled for various reasons. Since this whole thing
has happened without us I am wondering if they would even want our help
at all.
They are probably about to need it differently than we are used to.
They are about to need people to stand up at board meetings to oppose
the Microsoft lobbyists.
Those of us in the San Diego Unified School District probably need to
start monitoring school board meetings.
