On the schoolforge.org.uk site it mentions that you are in need of web space and a webmaster. If this is still required, New Media would be happy to offer web space and administration, free of charge. The machine that I have in mind is a dual Xeon IBM xSeries, running RH 7.3 (sorry SuSE people!), Apache, PHP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. We can't offer web development resources (we already have far too much work on..) but I could perhaps find personal time to assist if necessary. Let me know if this is of use.. On Fri, 2003-04-11 at 13:31, Chris Puttick wrote:
Hi
As no objections, only encouragement was received from the list, I just posted this to the SchoolForge mailing list:

Hi all
Following David's suggestion of national versions of SchoolForge, timed rather neatly with a very successful Open Source in Education conference here in the UK, I'm pleased to announce that SchoolForge UK is up and more or less functional. Official UK press releases are provisionally set for the 25th of this month (timed for the main education publication). The lag is to ensure there's already some content on the site (http://schoolforge.org.uk) and preferably an impressive list of UK affiliates.
Do we have to do anything in relation to "joining" SchoolForge International?

The ball's rolling now... It's worth people having a quick look at the main SchoolForge site (http://schoolforge.net) as they have some fairly sensible policies and approaches we would do well to draw upon. I particularly like the logo/link requirement. All comments to this list for now please (pending a SchoolForge UK one...).
Cheers
