[Grassroots-l] Grassroots Digest, Vol 9, Issue 9 and free pc's strategies

[George Pope]

Where is a good place to ask strategy questions about free ACCRC pc's?

I am in contact with a first year 3rd grade teacher at Wilson Elementary 
in Richmond about this matter. Before we had the benefit of James 
Burgett's advice at SVLUG not to go to school administrators but to move 
independently she went to her principle and also asked the school pc 
person and got little enthusiasm as predicted. The school has pc's 
bolted to desks with some not working. I offered to install Ubunto on 
one of the latter.

Because of the economy she is being sent away from Wilson to another 
school in the county.

What might she do? Wait until she has the new job? Maybe apply for 
personal pc's for her students in the name of their parents? Seems a 
long shot, they are only 3rd graders but this is a real world problem 
for her students. Maybe James could do a promotion on the school's 
officers..but this seems a departure from both his advice and 
inclinations as I heard him.
