Ubuntu in Newton North/South High School

[Danny Piccirillo]

Did the excitement here die just like that?

For the sake of collaboration, i crated a new presentation on GDocs (so
there's nothing in it yet) and when it's done (since Google still hasn't
added support for Open Office Impress yes) i can export it as a ppt file and
convert it to odp in openoffice.

Remember the focus of this presentation shouldn't be too technical. Schools
want to hear about usability, and price (and it doesn't hurt to preach about
freedom too-- just make sure to make it understandable for
non-technical-folk).
