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 The CD has been superceded by [[#13|Open CD Project]]^13^.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. ---- Related pages: <> ---- == External References == * <> ^0^[[https://launchpad.net/people/kjcole|Launchpad Profile]] * <> ^1^[[https://launchpad.net/products/edubuntu.cookbook|Edubuntu HOWTO]] * <> ^2^[[http://gri.gallaudet.edu/Tutorials/ubuntu.php|Ubuntu 5.04 Live CD for Newbies]] * <> ^3^[[http://gri.gallaudet.edu/Tutorials/linux_tips.php|Linux Tips]] * <> ^4^[[http://pchb1f.gallaudet.edu/tricki/LegUp|LEG-UP CD]] '''TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE''' * <> ^5^[[http://pchb1f.gallaudet.edu/tricki/NextStep|The Next Step: Beyond Microsoft]] '''TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE''' * <> ^6^[[http://pchb1f.gallaudet.edu/tricki/ByteBack|Byte Back Curriculum]] '''TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE''' * <> ^7^[[http://www.digitaldivide.net/community/Ubuntu/|Digital Divide Network (DDN) Ubuntu Community]] * <> ^8^[[http://maitri.ubuntu.com/softwarefreedomday/wiki/index.php/Washington|Software Freedom Day 2005 Report]] * <> ^9^[[http://yhslug.tux.org/|YHSLUG]] * <> ^10^[[http://gri.gallaudet.edu/|Gallaudet Research Institute]] * <> ^11^[[http://ubuntulite.org/|Ubuntu Lite]] * <> ^12^[[http://gri.gallaudet.edu/Tutorials/|Other tutorials]] * <> ^13^[[http://www.theopencd.org/|Open CD Project]] * <> ^14^[[http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/wiki/GPG|Introduction to GPG Keysigning]] * <> ^15^[[http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/resources/tutorials/bzr-intro.php|Introduction to bzr]] * <> ^99^[[http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x75E20A77FC0C2128F3B3AA0787CEF4D8E6F332C7|GPG Public Key]] ---- CategoryHomepage
