[seul-edu] ~education project introductions Re: [cwlc] k12linux

[Karl <karl@tux.org>]

Hello--

CWLC-- You can find out more about projects like k12linux at
http://www.seul.org/edu/

When I am not busy translating hexadecimal into ASCII, I try to help
SEUL/edu by serving as their Projects Liason, and by putting people in
touch with each other. Hope this email helps that effort.

SEUL/edu, led fearlessly by Roger Dingledine, and Doug Loss, is an
amazingly huge archive of GNU/Linux in education, in case you haven't been
there yet. Several hundred educators, students, scientists, thinkers,
etcetera, are signed up on the seul-edu mailing list, from all over the
world, and from all sorts of educational locations.

BTW, Have you written any papers/presentations?

In October, I hope to recieve free conference passes to an IDG "Open
Source in the Government" Expo in Washington DC. We need people who are
pioneering education with free software, to represent the our similar
causes.

I am asking people to submit any "Free Software in Ecucation" papers, so
that IDG is convinced by the sheer volume of submissions, that they need
to have a completely central "Education" track at the "Open Source in
Government"  convention. (It would be better if it read: "Free Software in
Government" Expo, but that is a point to investigate with IDG, as I don't
need to advocate that discussion to ye who already are versed in GNU
ethics. I fall on the "free" side of the fence.)


SEUL-- CWLC is a project in Wash DC, where John Knight and gang have
installed, taken over, developed, a free software computer laboratory in
the daycare center that was established by volunteers, in a formerly
abandoned school building, near Malcolm X park. CWLC's work has been
swift and impressive, given the benevolent colobaoration, the time, and
the hard work, of several brilliant GNU/Linux-friendly people, who have
over-extended themselves constantly to keep the CWLC shop moving, from
what I understand.

Mr. Harrison, Eric-- I've been only lurking on the CWLC lately
(with my extremist Debian ideas its often better to try contribute
gently, and quietly). I noticed that someone at CWLC was curious about
your K12Linux project(s), so I am piggy-backing this opportunity to point
both you, and CWLC, to communicate with our community at the SEUL/edu
Project.

Webmasters@gnu-- I wanted to bring the activities in this email to your
general attention, in case anyone over at Temple Place/elsewhere is
interested.


Warmest regards to all of you,

Thanks for any help, or questions you may have.
