<div dir="ltr"> I have already given one presentation at the
Blair Taylor School with the principal and an IT guy and have
been asked to give a follow up talk to them and the head of the
IT department.
<div> They had macbook air for the older kids and ipads for
the younger ones. They bring these home at the end of the
school day. This time they decided to go with cromebooks. It
one of the best.. rated or testing, can't think of an
appropriate word, but with the quality of the teachers out
here i am pretty sure they could give my kids sticks and a box
of sand and they would still be well prepared for life on
their own/college. I am 100% positive they will be much better
off if they can learn without restrictions from open source
hardware, software, classes (like MIT offers open courseware)
and the ability to choose, to not be scolded for breaking some
license agreement or for reading and modifying code should
that be an interest. I want them to have Linux. </div>
<div> I have gave a compelling argument in the last meeting.
This time I want to have as many resources available to
provide for them, including reasons why schools frequently
choose to not use Linux. Anything will help. I had quite the
presentation last time and the IT guy didn't know what Unix or
BSD 4.4 was; or Linux, BSD, Solaris. Seems Ubuntu provides
computers reloaded with Linux and tablets so how they didn't
find anything about open source or Linux/BSD/ETC is beyond me.
I gave them a live Ubuntu OS on a thumb drive. I wanted to
make some more and use persistence to load up some information
to give to the IT people who are possibly way under informed,
to give them plenty of time on their own to absorb what open
source has to offer; mostly community! </div>
<div> They asked many questions about community. Yes we work
together and keep our favorite distributions alive often
without corporate support! </div>
