Open Source Software and a Small School in Campbell

I had the opportunity to go on vacation for a week recently. It was really great to see my parents, and to spend some time getting away. I ended up doing a lot of work while I was there, but not all of it was Nexus related.

I had a great opportunity to present to some of the students at a school I attended when I was younger.   Being a small school, budgets are always tight and technology is always a little sparse.  The current IT administrator for the school (Mr. Osman) has been doing an excellent job and allowed me to present to some of his students.  Everything went great.  I was also able to bring a server with me to donate to the school.  Hopefully they can use it to improve the infrastructure there.  As time passes, I hope to be able to continue donating equipment and possibly give some more presentations about what open source can do for the school.  Apparently, the big thing there right now is GIMP.
