[K12OSN] K12LTSP Presentation and Contact List

[Richard K. Ingalls]

Sure Steve:

My name is Richard Ingalls and I'm the Technology Director at my rural 
school district in Missouri.  I have implemented two K12LTSP servers 
in two different classrooms and I'm preparing to deploy a third server 
to cover two more classrooms.  I have ONLY used older, refurbished PCs 
for the diskless workstations (but of course, new servers).  Sometimes 
I buy the refurbs, sometimes I build one out of parts I have here.

I have presented on this topic at two state-level technology 
conferences.  The Missouri State Teachers Association did a magazine 
article about the linux labs at my school.  The local NBC affiliate 
did a story about it too.  Now we have schools and people calling to 
donate their old PCs (which is allowing me to put in two more labs!).

This is amazing!  I love K12LTSP!  I'd love to help you in any way 
that I can.  My contact info is in the signature at the bottom of the 
email.
