All are welcome, free of charge.
Agenda
7:00 Sign-in, networking
7:15 Introductory remarks
7:20 Open Source in Schools
presented by Dave Clifton
Dave will be talking about the use of Free / Open
Source Software in schools and will chronicle the
growth of the infrastructure at the Plainfield
Elementary School (NH SAU 32) since 2002. There
will be an emphasis on choosing appropriate software,
the real costs of going down the F/OSS path, and some
potentially surprising stories about what the
Plainfield School is doing today.
Dave is currently a Senior Systems Administrator for
Ansys (formerly Fluent) in Lebanon, NH. He holds a
Master's degree in Applied Mathematics from Johns Hopkins
and spent ten years doing consulting work for various
government agencies and Bell Atlantic before escaping from
DC to the Upper Valley in 1998. He got his start as a
sysadmin in the mid-1980s running Masscomp Real-Time Unix
and SunOS 4.0.3 and has subsequently worked on more
operating systems than he wants to remember.
8:50 Roundtable Exchange - where the attendees can make
announcements or ask a linux question of the group.
Please see the website for links to directions.
If any area companies are interested in sponsoring refreshments, please
let me know.
Please RSVP so we can give a theoretical refreshment sponsor a
headcount.
