Hello- I know there is a team of professionals working on Edubuntu, 
but I would like to become involved somehow.  I am currently enrolled in 
a master of arts teaching program here in Juneau, Alaska and will be 
working as an apprentice teacher in a middle school this winter.  If all 
goes as planned I'll become a certified teacher in the spring. 

While I'm not a linux guru, I do have some experience with Ubuntu and 
Debian, as well as Red Hat and others.  I also have some background in PC support, networking, programming, and web design.  One of my goals as a teacher is to turn as many tired old pc's as I can get my hand on into perfect working Ubuntu 
machines.  Needless to say I was very excited to learn about the Edubuntu project. 

I am a firm believer the benefits of open source software, and plan on 
spreading the word in the education community.  In my mind linux (especially Ubuntu) can take the best of the Mac and PC worlds and combine them affordably.  Any advice on how to contribute or get involved? 

Thanks for your time,
Dave Mckenna
