[Edu-fr] Greetings

[David Bumgardner]

Hello,

 

My name is David Bumgardner an a founding member of the

"Pikeville Kentucky Professional Linux Users' Group."

We are a new lug that started last September 2002.

Our goals are to be a service to the business and education

community.  We are sponsoring a free "e-business seminar 2003"

on May 13 for the Eastern Kentucky businesses.  We invited  

3 internet providers to give presentations along with us.

Our goal is to promote awareness of technology and Open-Source tools.

We want to announce free Open-Source utility application training for the

businesses at our e-business seminar.  One application we will provide

training for is OpenOffice.  We have a facility to have the training. 

What else would you suggest?  And can you provide help in any form?

Also, we have a pilot program we want to start by this summer for public schools.

Are idea is to build 6 Linux boxes and donate them to the local

high schools and grade schools with the stipulation that Linux run

on these boxes.  If this goes well, we can increase the number of boxes

we donate next year.  This all hinges on donations and/or grant

money.  Our goal is to provide an alternative to windows for the students. 

 

Sincerely,

David Bumgardner
