[CLUE-Talk] Rocky Mountain School and linux

[Charles Oriez]

Our Recycle IT group got a tour of the Rocky Mountain School yesterday 
afternoon to see the linux operation in their computer lab.  They're 
running an entire technology department, including a 24 machine computer 
lab, on a budget lower than one Littleton school has for Microsoft licenses 
alone.

When we gear up for press coverage of our program, we will probably want to 
use them as a model.

Rita professes to be a linux novice, although she has taken them a heck of 
alot further along the road than I could have.  She believes she has a few 
odds and ends of issues and opportunities that she needs to get addressed 
before there are television cameras and print reporters crawling all over 
her facility.

That's where you come in.  Rita has promised in the next few days to 
produce her issue list here.  ANYONE on the list who can assist her in 
closing those issues is urged to do so.  This is going to be our showcase 
linux installation, already functional in a Denver Public School.  The 
opportunities should be obvious.
