| highvoltage | #edubuntu is one of those channels where something is always happening *just* when I'm not looking | 01:58 |

| mgariepy | good morning everyone | 14:15 |
| Roasted | Hey guys. Has anybody mass deployed Ubuntu in a school district? | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | Roasted: there are a number of projects floating around that are working in public schools (I'm involved with one of them) | 18:57 |
| Roasted | I guess I was just looking to get into conversation with somebody who had time available, as I'm interested in hearing what avenues other districts have taken for completing certain tasks. | 18:57 |
| pleia2 | Roasted: what country? | 18:57 |
| Roasted | Like what they use for their file server. linux? samba? nfs? email - zimbra? google email? etc | 18:57 |
| Roasted | USA | 18:57 |
| stgraber | Roasted: Revolution Linux did | 18:58 |
| Roasted | I heard a bit about them | 18:58 |
| pleia2 | much of the infrastructure we use is documented here: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Aa7wSBzNDXVYZGZ6Y3hjanJfMmNoYzVjcWNn&hl=en | 18:59 |
| pleia2 | we don't handle email for them though, just their computer lab | 18:59 |
| Roasted | nice, nice | 19:00 |
| Roasted | thank you for this | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | welcome :) | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | http://partimus.org/cacs.php has some details about one of our most successful labs | 19:02 |
| pleia2 | (mostly pictures though :)) | 19:02 |
| Roasted | I'm just trying to get a feel for what other areas are doing. | 19:03 |
| * pleia2 nods | 19:03 | |
| Roasted | XP is dying soon and W7 is too expensive. | 19:03 |
| Roasted | Couple that with a pathetic economy and budget cuts and you have no option. | 19:03 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 19:03 |
| Roasted | I've used Ubuntu for years. I love it. I swear by it. But a platform change is a massive undertaking, and to be quite honest, scary. | 19:03 |
| pleia2 | much of our work has been with Charter schools, I'm not involved with the district, it's really hard to get into proper public schools | 19:04 |
| Roasted | But it's comforting to hear other places have taken the plunge. I was just finding myself a little lonely in the department of kicking the can with other Ubuntu-using districts to hear what's up and what they're seeing. | 19:04 |
