School in Swindon considering going Linux!

[Dermot Mc Laughlin]

Hi everyone,
I have only recently subscribed to this list and have been impressed with
the level of support that it has provided. I am the head of Business Studies
and ICT at Greendown Community school in Swindon and I'm also charged with
ICT Strategic Management. I'm new to the job and have a little bit of Linux
experience. I have talked to the schools senior leaders and the network
manager here and people are certainly interested in the school
clients/servers being switched to open source (for cost reasons initially).
In fact, I'm slowly introducing the idea to staff and students already.

The network manager and I would love to come by to meet up with people on
this list to discuss feasibility. Can you let me know when the next such
event is happening? We would need a fair bit of help getting ourselves
skilled up and we would be regular posters on this list.

Thank you,
Dermot Mc Laughlin
