The world of Linux has grown into a vast body of software
supported by a large community of companies and independent
developers. The fact is, Linux can now perform many computing tasks
and do them well.
Despite this incredible progress since its inception less than
twelve years ago, many people are still unaware of the power it
offers in solving the problems most organizations have with their
information technology. Nowhere is this more true that in the
public school system.
The time has come to offer an understandable overview of Linux
and how it can be applied in public education.
The mission of the Linux in
Education Conference (LiEC) is to introduce Linux to an
audience of educators, students, administrators, IT managers and
other interested parties who may have no previous knowledge of
Linux nor even any technical understanding of computing.
The presenters will offer something for everyone and will
carefully explain the basics while showing some incredible
technology.
The conference runs for one full day, Saturday, April 5 at the
Grand Prairie High School 9th Grade Center,
Grand Prairie, Texas. It is filled with demonstrations,
presentations, and discussions that will open your eyes to new
possibilities.
