I am a NYC High School teacher. I write grants for my school and I am
currently putting together the idea for a technology grant that includes
Linux.
I would like to set up a web server using Linux OS and running MOODLE.
MOODLE is a program that allows teachers to put up interactive online class
projects (see moodle.org for more information).
I was wondering if anyone belonging to this listserv would like to help me
put this project together. I must figure out what I will need in terms of
equipment, software, technical support etc.
Does NYLUG have 501{c3} status as a non-profit?
Ron

The New York Linux Uses Group
(volunteer meeting)
This month, instead of reaching out to the world, we're going to
turn our focus inward. Not since November 2000, has there been a
gathering of NYLUG about NYLUG. This month we're going to do it
twice! Last held in November 2000, these meetings will be an
opportunity to give your input, creativity, and effort to the
group, and help shape its future direction.
* Kind of meetings/events NYLUG holds
* Events NYLUG attends
* Updating the NYLUG logo
* The new NYLUG web site
* RSVP software
* Job listings software
* Any other ideas
Our first word in January 1999 was fittingly, "Hello" and we've
gotten together at least once in each of the last eighty-eight
months. Your help will make the next eighty-eight even better than
the first eighty-eight.
First, please join us this month at 6:30pm at the Winter Garden at
the World Financial Center, to discuss various projects and ideas
about NYLUG. We'll be meeting directly at the tables in the Winter
Garden, or outside at the corner of Park Place and Broadway at
6:20pm.
We are also seeking volunteers for three new coordinator teams:
* Web team (graphics, content, coding)
* Publicity team (announcements, flyers, etc.)
* Media team (meeting videos, photos, audio, streaming)
Afterward, around 7:30pm, we will migrate somewhere for dinner.
