“Shane Geddes and his mates from the Albany High School
in Auckland – the first school in New Zealand that uses only free
and open source software – were back at the Australian national
Linux conference in Brisbane today.

“Last year the school’s principal Mark Osborne and Geddes were
both featured in iTWire’s coverage of the LCA – which was held in
Wellington.

“Geddes was back with two of his classmates – Andrew Hill and
Lekshmen Kannan – to speak at the mini-conf titled FOSS in Research
and Student Innovation.”
