“A company named I-Silver has announced LUISA, the Linux
Universal Internet Server Application. It appears that this is

software added. Their Spring Special pricing is US $1795.“Lalescu Liviu told us about a genetic algorithm/evolutionary
program that he has written, aimed to automatically schedule the
courses of a faculty/high-school. We haven’t tried it yet, but it
looks intriguing.“Chris Puttick’s Schoolforge UK organization is developing
nicely. The various localized Schoolforge groups are intended to be
something like LUGs, but with the emphasis on the educational side

an occasional educational theme within a more general LUG, the
Schoolforge groups will be focussed on education at all times, with
Linux, open documentation/texts, free curricula, etc. as their
regular topics. Another local Schoolforge group is getting started
in Bangkok (it’s unclear as yet whether it will be called
Schoolforge Bangkok or Schoolforge Thailand). We expect to see more
in the future…”
