[luau] Voyager School Linux Project

[Brian Low]

Aloha all,
   First off, I would like to say sorry for the delay of this e-mail.  I have been swamped with trips to the mainland and catching up with work.  This is the introduction to the Voyager- A Public Charter School linux project.  Below is an outline for the LTSP project for Voyager School.  I would like to setup a meeting with the core project group, to start setting up the different phases that would be involved in cutting over the school.  I was think ether this Saturday or Sunday.  I was thinking late afternoon or early evening.  Could you all please respond to this e-mail with your thoughts?  You can also call me at 808-371-3571.

Thanks everyone :)


Proposal outline for the LTSP Project for Voyager  

Project name: LTSP Project cutover for Voyager - A Public Charter School

Short Introduction:  Voyager - A Public Charter School [Voyager] has been in operation for about 2 years.  The School is currently running a Windows based network with a Windows2000 Workstation acting as a files server for the school application called WinSchool.  As with many other charter schools, budgets tend to be very tight and very restive.  It is no surprise that Voyager can no longer maintain the hardware and software upgrades required to maintain a Microsoft Network. The Linux LTSP project [LTSP] has raised some topic and has Voyager looking into it.  

Network layout:  Voyager is using a 100MB full Duplex network using Cat5e Cabling.  There is 1 computer lab with 20 workstations ranging from systems with P166's to PII and PIII. There are several other workstations spread out through out the school.

Proposal:  Voyager's network must be at least an 80% linux network by December 31st. 2003.
