Ubuntu in Newton North/South High School

[Martin Owens]

This is excellent news! what kind of dates are we looking at? I'd be
most happy to come and give a talk, stammer and all. Michael Selva
what are your thoughts? Perhaps Me and Michael should go if we have
the right dates and the moons are aligned etcetera.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
