+# Dara Adib (Daradib)
+
+# September 27, 2009
+As a member of my school district's technology committee, I advocate
+free software as public software for public education[1]. Before the
+start of this school year, I successfully convinced and helped the
+district install OpenOffice.org, Mozilla Firefox, VLC media player,
+Stellarium, and Tux Paint on all school computers (the computers are
+imaged), the first exceptions in a network dominated by proprietary
+software.
+
+I finally obtained administrative approval for the school technology
+club[2] which I organized last year. The club is specifically focused
+on the freedoms of technology, as our bylaws[4] state:
+
+> CHSN Tech Club shall be organized to promote technology as a tool for
+> experimentation and learning at Clarkstown High School North, with an
+> emphasis on Free/Libre Open-Source Software (FLOSS), Free Culture,
+> Free Formats, and the GNU/Linux operating system.
+
+A brief, one-page summary of the club is available.[3]
+
+And of course, I'm using free software: Debian testing (with
+linux-libre).
+> $vrms
+> No non-free or contrib packages installed on DARADIB!  rms would be
+> proud.
+(DFSG put aside, hahaha...)
