A recent thread and a slashdot entry got me to wondering: who around here would/could do initial setup and/or ongoing support for switching a school to Linux. My mom is the principal of an elementary school in Greensboro. Who should she call up if she wants to get her school switched? Keep in mind that she'd have to sell the idea to her boss, so me (her son, a student) doing it wouldn't fly.
I know there are some great web resources and distros out there (eg. edubuntu, http://www.ltsp.org/ ), but who are the people who could make it happen locally? Any redhatters wanna pipe up on what you guys offer? http://www.redhat.com/en_us/USA/home/solutions/education/ didn't tell me too much. Anybody have an Edubuntu success story? Some time back I watched TechCoaches.org get up and moving with a LiveCD project for home use: http://www2.chccs.k12.nc.us/education/components/whatsnew/default.php?sectiondetailid=8599&id=291&viewType=detail but haven't heard anything recently. Anybody? TIA, CMP -- Cristobal M.
