We would like to be able to give out any pr material you want us to. I am resending this earlier email to make sure as many open source related companies can use our contacts with college students and faculty. Attention: Open Source Advocates At Lane Community College, we have recently formed the LCC- OPEN SOURCE COMPUTER GROUP. At the college level I have found that open source has very limited (if any) representation. For instance in CIS 140 Operating Environments, Linux and Mac have 2 hours each. The balance of this 10-week course is devoted to Windows and DOS. The good news is that there are a few Linux boxes on campus. The great news is that the demand for Linux is huge. In 2 meetings we have 20+ members. OUR MISSION TO CREATE AN OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY AT LCC; TO HELP STUDENTS INTEGRATE OPEN SOURCE TOOLS & PHILOSOPHY INTO THEIR EDUCATION, AND TO HELP CONNECT STUDENTS WITH THE LARGER OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY. We should have our web presence up and running soon contact ruudninja@netscape.net our web master. We are figuring out which areas we would like to support, some of our basics are; an open source library, distribution and help with installation issues, review and report on software, hardware configuration, etc. If you have any materials that you think we could use in our efforts please send them to: Open Source Computer Group Student Activities Lane Community College 4000 East 30th Avenue Eugene, OR. 97405-0640 I would personally like to set up lines of communication with the larger open source community, please have one of your representatives e-mail me. I look forward to helping with letting our students know more about you. Steve Simmons Pres. LCC-OSCG tonous@webolium.com A special thanks to free BSD and turbolinux, for sending us great promotional material, we are making it available to all that are into open source at Lane Community College.
