K12Linux founders hand off project to the Fedora community
,----[ Quote ]
| Two Oregon educators who founded the K12Linux project seven years ago are
| glad that they have been able to hand that project over to Fedora, the home
| they always meant for K12Linux to have.
|
| Paul Nelson and Eric Harrison met online when Nelson, a classroom teacher and
| technology director at a small school in Portland's Riverdale School
| District, went looking for Linux help. "We were doing everything on the back
| end with Linux, but I was spending a lot of time keeping the Windows desktops
| running. I thought how nice it would be to use Linux on the front end too. I
| posted a notice on the local user group mailing list." Harrison, then a
| Multnomah County IT Services support tech, befriended Nelson, and the two had
| an idea: make a specialized Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) distribution
| that would allow schools to use thin clients running Linux on old,
| inexpensive hardware.
