Re: [LUG] detroit school moves to openoffice

[Paul Sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think this is another reason we need to hold an education focus Lug 
meeting,  so people like me who are looking for a more challenging job 
than what I am presently doing (MTA) can demonstrate their skills  if 
say I am helping someone such as Tom B install Linux and or LTSP and 
being casually observed by people, who are taking an interest in what we 
are doing, asking questions etc,   that demonstrates people /  
communiication, skills, IT skills, and knowledge,  and I think that if 
it works properly can be worth far more than most qualifications someone 
has seen you do it,   

This could have benfits in that having met members of the group they may 
even ask us to help at their school,  so from that we get more meeting 
venues, etc. 

Once schools realise there is a pool of talent out there, and that 
talent is very high quality who knows what could happen,
