[K12OSN] LTSP presentation to all Alberta Ed tech leaders conference

[Joe Guenther]

I have been asked to do a 1hr presentation about LTSP to the Alberta 
Technology Leaders for Education Conference.  www.alte.ca  I had done a 
similar presentation last year regionally and thus was recommended and 
now asked to do one for the all Alberta conference. So its neat to see 
other tech leaders take notice.

I will be bringing a small "server," a couple of old PC's and an old 
tray load iMac as a demonstration on how to use LTSP to "recycle" old 
workstations.  In our school division there are hundreds of old iMacs 
that are now too slow, too old of an OS to be very useful anymore. But 
they continue to litter our computer labs.  They make GREAT ltsp 
clients!  So for about $110/workstation you can have a modern up2date, 
blazing fast computer lab again.  You thought the $100 laptop was only 
for poor communities in India and Africa.  We can accomplish the same 
value for your buck with LTSP.

I have already done 3 computer labs in my area of the school division.  
I am working on joining 2 more schools with fibre and then they both get 
their old iMac labs upgraded to LTSP from a single server.

Any presentation ideas & sucess stories & gotcha's are always welcome
