Please pass on : -------- Forwarded Message -------- One computer per two children for your primary school by October: are you up for it? OSA [1] would like to find a UK primary school ready for a serious IT upgrade. They will select one school from those that apply, and kit out the entire school with sustainable computing solutions. Each classroom will have one computer per two pupils, enabling better collaborative working than one PC each, yet ensuring full access for all. Sustainable computing: re-cycled hardware, and Free & Open Source Software provide low running costs, and a maintainable solution capable of integrating with existing IT, and growing further when needed. Could interested schools please contact Richard Smedley at: PrimarySchools@openschoolsalliance.org We hope to contact short-listed schools by early next week. Note: This installation will be completed to tie in with the release in October of Edubuntu 7.10, an education-focussed release of the GNU/Linux Free Software system, and with OSA's October software spectacular day, to be staged in Liverpool - see the website nearer the time for more details. [1] OSA = Open Schools Alliance http://www.openschoolsalliance.org/ The Open Schools Alliance is a campaigning organisation supported by Free & Open Source businesses, technical experts, educationalists and concerned citizens. We are united by the common belief that the UK could enhance education, save taxpayers' money and strengthen its IT sector by treating Free & Open Source Software fairly. -- Richard Smedley, rs@m6-it.org Technical Director, www.M6-IT.org M6-IT CIC +44 (0)779 456 07 14 Sustainable Third Sector IT solutions.
