Projects

Schools

We will start to show schools in the country what Ubuntu can do for a network - unbeatable uptime, responsive services, free as in price, freedom as in contracts (unlike the lock-in contracts that Microsoft offers many schools), and free as in libre. We also plan to demonstrate the power of the LTSP.

Ubuntu-In-Business

Ubuntu-In-Business is a focus group aimed at devising marketing strategies for Australian businesses and discussing business-related issues for using Ubuntu. Business-focused demonstrations of Ubuntu is another main objective of the Ubuntu-In-Business project.
