Request for help in Somerville

[Bill Ricker]

This might get more reply on the Ubuntu LOcal COmmunity support team list, cc: .
(Although if you want a RedHat/SUSE view of /current/ industrial use,
that is more BLU)

This weekend, the MASS LoCo is having an open house "Exploration
Ubuntu" demo and installfest
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MassachusettsTeam/Events/InstallFests/2008-08-02
 at  MIT Media Lab. E15 atrium / lobby (lower level)
http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?mapterms=e15&mapsearch=go  and

Note to team - Lincoln Tech is a subsidiary of LincolnEdu.com, a
for-profit chain of training schools, which is not to say the students
are any less worthy of out-reach, maybe more so, but volunteering
there is not quite the same as at a non-profit college.

> Good afternoon,
> I have an unusual request that I was wondering if anyone on this list could assist with. Many years ago I was more into Linux than I am now, having worked the last 12 years for a MS shop. I currently am teaching a nite class at Lincoln Tech on A+ OS. The last few classes deal with MACS and Linux.

I can have a projector and machine available, there are 6 students in the class, which runs 6PM - 9:30ish M-Th. They graduate on Aug 11 so it would need to be before then, and again you could have 1-2 nights.
