[Ltsp] CACRC and BRLUG implement K12LTSP

[Michael Murray]

We now have a forum and several volunteers. I think we have a consensus 
on objective: provide working K12LTSP multiuser systems to schools, 
libraries and similar organizations using donated computer hardware. 
Ultimately, we hope for involvement of other LUGs to support statewide 
installations. Please feel free to suggest other objectives or ideas; I 
claim no standing or authority and only voice my suggestions.

The Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council ( cacrc.com ) has agreed 
to provide hardware for the project through their Computers for 
Louisiana's Kids (CLK) program, directed by David Grant. We do have 
additional equipment donors we can draw upon.

Our challenge is to reach a collective competence in configuring and 
administering K12LTSP servers and networks, then provide support for 
the local administrators in running the systems. We have one system in 
the field already, and a second server awaits configuration in Baton 
Rouge. If we make the effort, we might install hundreds of systems 
statewide with a consequent impact upon education in Louisiana.
