\nOur presentation for October 12th will be
\n
\n“K12LTSP: The Enterprise”
\n–or–
\n“The Search for Docs”
\n<\/font>
\npresented by
\n James P. Kinney<\/font>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Synopsis:
\n The Atlanta Public Schools organization has seen the light at the
\nend of the tunnel. Normally, this would just mean the train is closer
\nthan they thought. But this time it just our friend Tux whistling a
\nhappy tune and walking down the tracks to show them a way out of
\nthe dark cave with many twisty passages that all smell of grue.<\/p>\n

James Kinney, CEO and Director of Engineering at Local Net Solutions,
\nwill present a “Where Things Stand” synopsis of preparing for and
\ninstalling Linux thin clients at 7 Atlanta Public Schools elementary and
\nmiddle schools. Topics such as technical hurdles, scaling the process
\nand government contracting for newbies are bound to come up.<\/p>\n

Bio:
\n Mr. Kinney has been an unusually verbose member of ALE since
\nsometime around 1997 when he embarked on a process of converting
\nas much of Emory Universities Physics department to Linux as possible.
\nThis led to the formation of L.U.G.E. (Linux Users Group of Emory)
\nwith Michael Hirsch and Sara Chodrow (with whom he worked in Linux
\ndevelopment at a now defunct media tech startup – ZapMedia). Somewhere
\nalong the way, James formed Local Net Solutions in an attempt to take
\nover the world. So far the business aspect is doing OK but the Total World
\nDomination is taking a bit longer than planned.<\/p>\n

Note that James has promised to try and keep this presentation under
\n6 hours (unlike his most recent presentation for ALE which just let out
\nan hour ago).<\/p>\n

==========
\nMeeting time is 7:30pm to ~9:30pm
