Can we help a Phoenix school convert to Linux?

[David Uhlman]

It seems like der.hans has been mulling over putting together a
commercial/npo entity to start taking cracks at exactly this sort of thing.
I don't want to speak for him though. I have the beackground and experience
for it, and would be very interested in tackling these sort of projects.

I suppose we should group together those that are "really" interested, have
"real" time they could commit to something like this, and have experience in
the key areas. Get together (online or off) and have a good sit down about
what might be done to put together a vendor that could handle this.

What does everyone else think?

Sincerely,
David Uhlman
CTO 50km Inc.
