Rogers (601) 875-3779 rogerspl at datasync.com Martin Michlmayr, PR Manager Linux International tbm at sypher.com In the United States of America, preparations are under way for NetDay96. NetDay96 is a grass-roots effort to install the basic wiring required to make classrooms network ready. If Linux enthusiasts across the United States would participate in their local NetDay96 and be prepared to follow up with assistance in creating highly functional and reliable networks for our school systems, much favorable publicity could be generated for the Linux movement. This is an unique opportunity to expand the name recognition of Linux. The following steps describe how you can help: o Volunteer to help wire a school and wear a Linux T-Shirt to the event. Be prepared to discuss the benefits (and limitations) of Linux. o Suggest that your Linux User's Group sponsors a school by funding a wiring kit. The cost of the wiring kit ranges from $339 to $376 depending on the vendor. o Contact a local Linux-based Internet Service Provider and request their support for NetDay96. For more information on NetDay96 or to volunteer, feel free to visit their web site at http://www.netday96.com. Some guidelines can be found at http://www.li.org/NetDay96-guidelines.html. If you volunteer, please consider sharing your experiences and success stories with the community by sending them to li at li.org. We will post a report summarizing the success of this event. If you do not live in the United States, you may want to consider organizing a similar project for your community. Linux International Linux International was established to promote the development and use of Linux. The people at Linux International know how good Linux is and want it to become an accepted competitor to products from even the largest computer companies. Among other things, it serves as a bridge between the dedicated and skilled community of developers, and the general world of commerce and industry. Linux International is a non-profit organization run by volunteers, many of whom are high-profile Linux developers or activists. For more information, please visit Linux International's World Wide Web site at http://www.li.org or contact li at li.org. # # # # Martin Michlmayr tbm at sypher.com http://www.sypher.com/tbm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMjmXcYQRll5MupLRAQE6hgQA2kWF8udbtalD7RwME5hleezhkyWI6mN9 C2XeEHJGyVymxZuLnGPCm7XqgCY4Z/q2EHcNC2Jtyw17Mcag+Jx1ulPubNJrVdM/ 08Meydoja6WU7gNmDaztEXjCLQiSlKFfBSg/zG4+XSOkegKzf9tSCEAtaMsgBvb7 5yhzztkJ/mU= =nktB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/liw/lasu-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
