Please (please!) send me a link for this annoucement.

I am a teacher in a French speaking board (CSDCSO www.csdcso.on.ca).
If you have seen my few posts along the years, I aspire to work fully with 
Linux in the classroom. Each term I hope I get closer to this. And now I feel 
even much closer. (But no money can be invested by the board.)

Your project is interesting. Of course I'd like to participate though I don't 
see how.

What we are doing now
- use of StarOffice/OOo in all classrooms (that I teach), and at home
- next programming course, the idea is to teach C with Allegro -a 
multi-plateform game library- to spice it up a little bit
- dual-boot is being considered

William Park has also an interesting solution. But again, I don't think the 
board is ready to spend more.
