Edubuntu Feisty

[Cedric Janssens]

Hi,

Thanks for your interest.

What I want to produce as demo is based on the viability, workability
of a economical project.
I'm living in a "low revenue" area in Belgium and I'd like to propose
this solution for schools in the neighborhood.
For this I want to offer a full system (servers and if needed clients
and network and maintenance and installation) to my son's school.
After they will become a demo school for other one.

But even if it's free for the first school, there is a cost for them.

Investment in term of time to learn the new system, investment in term
of securisation of the room, etc...

So I need first to convince them.

To do this, I will first create a pseudo classroom at my office with 5
clients and a server.

This solution of pseudo classroom will also be used to demonstrate to
potential sponsors what they can subside to local schools.

Big project, could end in the trashcan, but we have a lot of will :-)

Regards
Cedric
