Call for participation: Open Source in libraries

[Rob Lembree]

Hi all,

I'm starting a GNHLUG project to provide Linux and other
open source materials to the Nashua Public Library.  Initial
response from NPL has been positive, and a meeting with
the library has been set up for Monday, the 5th.

This is a general call for participation, with varying levels
of support.

I would like one or two people who can help lead this project.
If you want to sign on in this capacity, please call me
at 603 577 9714.

I'd also like to hear from people who can be responsible for
maintaining current distributions of things for the library
(e.g., a new version of your item comes out, and you are
responsible for burning and delivering new CDs)  If you're 
always downloading and installing, say, OpenOffice, you may be
a good candidate for this!

Next, I would like to seek continuing donations of relatively
current printed documentation for various open source things.

Finally, I would like this to be a seed project, repeated all
around the state.  We need to improve the relevance of GNHLUG
to outsiders, and I think that this would be a great way to do
it.  If you would like to adopt a library in this capacity,
please call me.
