In an attempt to entice more computer contributions, we are going to create a non-profit corporation. Heretofore things have been donated to the Mid-Pacific Institute. While this has been an effective work-around, it is not the long term solution we need.
Wayne, an attorney on the list, has suggested that the name be long enough to encompass a sense of the group's intentions. He advised against an acronym. I am suggesting any one of the following names. Please rearrange them and suggest a combination that you like. Please suggest a new name. Please ignore the whole thing if you choose. :-) Hawai`i Open Source Education Initiative Foundation For Hawaiian Open Sourced Schools Hawai`ian Institute for Open Sourced Education Open Source Technology for Hawai`ian Schools Foundation Hawai`ian Gnu/Linux Educational Organization Hawai`ian Institute of Openly Sourced Education Technology Technological Inititative for Open Source Hawai`ian Schools Schools Growing with Open Source Technology Hawai`ian Education Foundation for Open Source Integration Open Source Computing Organization for Hawai`ian Schools For those of you unfamiliar with this endeavor, it is an attempt to utilize hardware generally considered "obsolete" in the academic environment. Luau members have interest in this because a linux based project, the LTSP, lstp.org, and in particular its education branch, k12ltsp.org, use this hardware as thin clients. For very little cost, entire labs can be constructed. Warren Togami has been instrumental (as well as others) in implementing this solution in several places. The Mid-Pacific Institute has one such lab, and it is being expanded. If you want to be involved in any way, let it be known. scott
