Introducing ourselves seems like a good idea to me, so; I'm an IT manager for a small-ish (40 people, 2 sites) London based charity whose remit includes promoting and advancing the uk voluntary sector, hence the interest with using Ubuntu for community libraries. My IT knowledge is broad, but unfortunately rather shallow.
It seems to me that Linux/Ubuntu is 'made' for the voluntary sector and I'm keen to try and promote it - but I currently have little experience and/or resources to do this. It also seems to me that the time is right to promote Linux/Ubuntu - given both the emergent spread and success of FOSS across the world and the imminent change of the MicroSoft OS, along with all the inevitable licensing rigmarole that goes with it. I'm a relatively new Ubuntu user but have been using breezy on my home desktop (still dual boot with win2k at the moment) and also on a 'spare' work desktop. I've also experimented with setting up a LAMP type linux web server, but didn't get very far (lack of time, excess of laziness).
