[Since I detest the fancy link icons, and cannot seem to turn them off, I've turned all external links into footnotes. Less intrusive.]

About me
http://gri.gallaudet.edu/~kjcole/Professional/kjc75x100.jpg||Hi. Although I've been programming computers since 1973, and using GNU/Linux since 1993, I consider myself to be more of a "publicity" guy and "social network facilitator" (though I hate that word "facilitator"). I promote the use of Free/Open Source Software, particularly in educational environments, with [#9 YHSLUG]9 being my favorite example and am now advertising Ubuntu around the Brain-Washington, DC area, when I should be doing useful work for my office, the [#10 Gallaudet Research Institute]10. |
Edubuntu
My connection to is through the [:DCTeam:Washington, DC] [:LoCoTeams:LoCo]. I am also one of the core members of the "Computers for Social Justice" project, which is still in the planning phase. This project is part of a growing effort world-wide to refurbish and reuse old computers in the community. Our target distribution falls somewhere between Edubuntu and [#11 Ubuntu Lite]11, as we hope to distribute these older computers in the K-12 school system in northeast DC first. (We've decided not to establish a web site until we're a bit further along.) I've also written some [#12 tutorials]12 (primarily for students, staff and faculty at Gallaudet) and am the creator and sporadic maintainer of the [#3 LEG-UP CD]3. The CD has been superceded by [#13 Open CD Project]13.
Speaking of Gallaudet... There is an issue of addressing SpecialNeeds in Edubuntu.
