A big thank you to all those that attended / helped out at the SFD2008
event. Special thanks to Paul and to Rob.

Attendance was low. However three young gentlemen from Torbay Boys
Grammar School and two technicians from local schools did manage to
attend, we also managed to pick up a passer by who was interested.

The link to the Cameroon via video camera was successful, if a little
brief. Unfortunately the video feed link from the Cameroon to us  was
only noticed near the end of the session when we needed to pack things up.

For the most part the technology worked although it would have been nice
to have had a higher spec LTSP server, it functioned for the most part
adequately.

Many thanks to the two schools technicians it was interesting to hear
what they had to say. It does really seem that there needs to be a lot
of work done in order to get school curriculum specific software in
order and workable in the GNU/Linux environment. The sticking point as I
see it seems to be Teacher participation or the lack there of.

Thanks also to Chris ? for the donation.


Tom.
