[UbuntuWomen] Intro of Sorts

[Belinda Lopez]

Hi MichelleQ,
  great to see you on this list.  By coincidence I just got off the
phone with the leader of the http://www.kidsoncomputers.org/ project. 
It sounds very similar to what your group is doing as they are just
getting started placing computers in schools using all open source software.

I look forward to meeting you at SCALE and maybe your group can share
some of your experience or perhaps even collaborate with this other
group on any common areas.

cheers,

Dinda
