Thanks Craige. I am generally good at presentaitons and public speaking and I know a few things about Linux (about 5 years exp). But yes, I haven't experience in combing the two.
Interesting website you linked to there. I might indeed take up the offer if another, bigger opportunity (speaking to school organisers as we have a few government contracts) presents itself. Thanks Craige for your information and vote of support.
