-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I met with Donovan Walker yesterday. He is currently experimenting with Star Office and is very interested in LTSP. I have contacted Matt and when he returns, we will try to set up a demonstration for him. The hardest part of the project seems to be the educational programs that run under MS OS's. FYI, the Montessori Day School is a charter school with three campuses connected by a WAN. This will not be an easy project, but will entail a lot of time and effort. As we know more about how Donovan wants to proceed, we can get more people involved in the effort.
