We as the Linux community setup the School Computer Clubs, where we teach t=
he teachers ( note plural ) and the Students ( note plural ) on how to get =
a Club and a Lab up and running

When new members join the School Computer Club, the club members teach them=
, and so on, so hopefully the School Computer Club, will get new members ea=
ch year from the school ( both students and teachers ), and we wont have th=
e problem when the one and only teacher leaves

This way, the school owns the School Computer Club, and the lab/s

If a business wants to sponsor the Lab, call it "BusinessName Lab"

The club can be called "SchoolName School Computer Club"

This is the next important part, we need to set up an School Computer Club =
Outreach Program or whatever you want to call it

If this is going to be from ubuntu-za, then possibly call it "Ubuntu School=
 Computer Club Outreach Program"

The job of the "School Computer Club Outreach Program", it to provide thing=
s like :
1. Documentation
2. Initial setup of School Computer Club, possibly need to get sponsorship =
or donations
3. Teach how to install Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Ubutnu LTSP, Edubunt=
u
4. lots of schools don't have internet, so we will need to get the reposito=
ries onto a server, which we possibly update every month
5. Need to decide if the School Computer Club will ust LTS versions ( every=
 2 Years ), or the latest  ( every 6 Months ), need to consider also that y=
ou can only update at the end of the year for next year
6. Visit the schools every now and again, to see how they are doing
7. Have Meetings, like LUGs
8. Set up one or more labs

Here is my list so far
