BALUG: Tu 2009-09-15 Christian Einfeldt on: Linux in schools: Help yourself by helping the underdog
Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2009-09-15
Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below).
For our 2009-09-15 BALUG meeting, we're excited to present:
Christian Einfeldt on: Linux in schools: Help yourself by helping the underdog Schools and Linux should really fit together hand-in-hand. Schools need robust, low cost infrastructure, and the Linux community needs more widespread adoption to avoid marginalization on the desktop. Schools offer the potential to become channels for distribution and socialization for Linux. Christian Einfeldt is a community organizer who has worked for more than 5 years to bring Linux to two local public schools, and will draw on this experience to talk about what schools need to go further with Linux, and how schools can help create greater mindshare for Linux.
Christian Einfeldt has been using GNU-Linux in his law practice since late 2000. Einfeldt is a relatively simple end user who runs whichever distro is favored by the guru helping him. Currently, that means regular old brown Ubuntu (GNOME), but in the past has included openSUSE (KDE). Einfeldt is also fond of Xubuntu, as it runs quite well and installs easily on dead badgers and other odd ball legacy hardware that he and others are adminning at two local school FOSS projects supported by Bay Area GNUsters and Penguinistas. You know who you are.
So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP:

**Why RSVP??**
Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and they help ensure that we'll be able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.
