Hello list,

I'm writing an article on GNU/Linux in schools and universities for
Linux Format (yes, I've told them it's Easter, never mind =^).

I've already spoken to a few list members here privately, and seen
some impressive installations (eg Skegness).

I have _most_ of the info I need, but would welcome anyone contacting
me with their personal experiences of getting Free Software into
schools (good or bad).

I'm also happy to hear more about:

Free Software in primary schools;
LEAs;
Attitudes of non-technical teachers;
Non-UK schools (and universities);
More on universities;
Barriers to change.

Please contact me off-list at richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
or keep that address cc'd in for on-list replies.

Cheers,

- Richard
