Edgy+1: Edubuntu for Secondary Schools & Edubuntu for Universities

[David Trask]

Hi Richard (and all)

I'm actually going to be at UDS Mtn. View....and I am an actual classroom
teacher and user of Edubuntu, K12LTSP, Ubuntu...etc.  I currently teach US
grades K-8, but have taught grades K-12 during my career.  I'm bringing
the "user" and "implementer" to the table and would love to discuss some
ideas regarding what educators and their school IT people are looking for.
 Hopefully we can hook up.
