Bill, I have done a significant amount of research on this topic. I have built a small site dedicated to it. The difference between these efforts and the ideas I have for SLIPS is I want to take it to the streets. These efforts are largely passive support groups. With SLIPS I want to go to the schools. Offer to setup free labs with thin clients using LTSP. I would like to develop curricula, and lesson plans, with the help of teachers, and offer night classes on the topic. This is a lot of work but if the folks here in the Worcester LUG are willing to help I think it is achievable. On Sat, 2003-08-02 at 12:28, Bill Mills-Curran wrote:

Matt,
Do a google search on linux education -- there are some pretty heavy-duty efforts under way to promote the use of linux in school systems. There was a report on that in /. recently, too.
