[ale] Announce: ALE NW presentation for September

[Geof]

> The Free Software School
> 
> Is it possible to run a college or school classroom
> with free software?  
> If it is, school systems (and colleges) could save
> huge amounts of money 
> that could be redirected to other uses.  This
> session will examine the 
> use of the Linux operating system on servers and
> workstations as well as 
> related applications.  Is Linux stable enough to
> handle the demands of 
> the classroom?  Are Linux applications sufficiently
> feature rich to 
> replace their Windows equivalents?  If a school (or
> college) elects to 
> go "free software", what challenges will they face? 
> How secure will the 
> systems be?  Who will they call when there are
> technical issues?  All of 
> these questions and more will be explored in this
> presentation.  See 
> what is possible; see how much money can be saved!
