Last night's CentraLUG meeting and March and April pre-announcements

[Ted Roche]

Bill Sconce did a great job last night talking about Moodle, the  
course management system developed by and used by educators. Moodle  
(http://www.moodle.org) is used by a huge number of sites in a mind- 
boggling array of configurations and languages. Bill cited several  
interesting pieces of research on who is using it, the costs of using  
the competition, and demonstrated the ease of use with a remote  
installation of Moodle. Nine attendees enjoyed the presentation.

David Berube couldn't make it last night, as he was sick. Hopefully,  
we can line him up to do the "Content Extraction from MS Office  
documents" presentation in April. Okay with you, David?

March 6th will feature a demonstration of LTSP, the Linux Terminal  
Server Project, by Steve Amsden, network administrator for the  
Capital Area Center for Educational Support (http://www.caces.org)  
will bring a server and several workstations so you can see what LTSP  
can do. Still working out the details and logistics. Stay tuned!
