<br><br><br>OSA [1] would like to find a UK primary school ready for a serious IT upgrade.<br>They will select one school from those that apply, and kit out the entire<br>school with sustainable computing solutions. Each classroom will have one
<br>computer per two pupils, enabling better collaborative working than one PC<br>each, yet ensuring full access for all.<br><br>Sustainable computing: re-cycled hardware, and Free & Open Source<br>Software provide low running costs, and a maintainable solution
<br>capable of integrating with existing IT, and growing further when needed.<br><br>Could interested schools please contact Richard Smedley at:<br><a href="mailto:PrimarySchools@openschoolsalliance.org">PrimarySchools@openschoolsalliance.org
</a><br>We hope to contact short-listed schools by early next week.<br><br>Note:<br>This installation will be completed to tie in with the release in October<br>of Edubuntu 7.10, an education-focussed release of the GNU/Linux Free Software
<br>system, and with OSA's October software spectacular day, to be staged in<br>Liverpool - see the website nearer the time for more details.<br><br>[1] OSA = Open Schools Alliance <a href="http://www.openschoolsalliance.org/">

<br>save taxpayers' money and strengthen its IT sector by treating Free &<br>Open Source Software fairly.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>lugmaster mailing list
