|
Rob will give a more detailed report on the NYLXS Educational Meeting
which took place tonight, and Adam took notes of the meeting, but
I'd like to give a quick summary of meeting events and results.
First, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this important
function of NYLXS, and for all the members and non-members who participated
at the meeting. The meeting was a huge success, and we covered a lot of ground.
First, Rob, in his first performance and a Chair of a Committee was hugely
successful and shows great promise as an NYLXS officer.
Rob went through his agenda efficiently and with class. Most of the
board members attended the meeting, including Mike Richardson, Evan Inker,
Adam, myself (Ruevain) and Rob.
We have a commitment to adopt the GNU/Linux 1 class to a lesson plan for
students in the next week. We discussed possible problems with hardware
in the schools, and discussed potention solutions to over come this problem.
The Agencies within the board have been contacted by NYPHP and they are
presenting a proposal, which we agreed was fine. They asked us to present a
Perl counter program the following week. We discussed the issue of not being
dragged into an Perl, PHP point and counter point discussion with the board and
found that to be counter productive. We will present to the Agency a broader
student program based on GNU/Linux One, Perl, and the entire FSI ciriculum.
We touched on the proposal for a study on education, but got side tracked.
The meeting was disrupted in the middle by Jay Sulzberger, and Rob asked him to
leave. Then Brett Wynkoop appeared at the meeting right after and tried to
integrate himself into meeting and was rebuffed.
Ruben
