I would like to invite some of the K12OSN open source users to join a LinkedIn discussion on VDI for schools. There appear to be quite a few consultant sharks joining the conversation and pushing closed source solutions like citrix, micrsoft etc. I've added my .02cents worth about considering Open Source but I think it would be great if others chimed in on possible cost savings, simplification of mgmt etc. The URL for the discussion is: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groupItem?view=&gid=57400&type=member&item=57264816&commentID=42224435&report.success=8ULbKyXO6NDvmoK7o030UNOYGZKrvdhBhypZ_w8EpQrrQI-BBjkmxwkEOwBjLE28YyDIxcyEO7_TA_giuRN#commentID_42224435">http://www.linkedin.com/groupItem?view=&gid=57400&type=member&item=57264816&commentID=42224435&report.success=8ULbKyXO6NDvmoK7o030UNOYGZKrvdhBhypZ_w8EpQrrQI-BBjkmxwkEOwBjLE28YyDIxcyEO7_TA_giuRN#commentID_42224435</a> Brian <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 12:00 PM, <<a href="mailto:k12osn-request@redhat.com">k12osn-request@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Send K12OSN mailing list submissions to <a href="mailto:k12osn@redhat.com">k12osn@redhat.com</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a href="mailto:k12osn-request@redhat.com">k12osn-request@redhat.com</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a href="mailto:k12osn-owner@redhat.com">k12osn-owner@redhat.com</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of K12OSN digest..."
