Dear Jeff:
NYLXS is involved in developing Free Software ciriculm for
public education. We are working with several Department of
Education people in developing this, and looking at the ways
which Free Software can be used to enhance education.
We don't work with Jay or any of his efforts, and he is not
part of our organization.
Our experience in this area has shown that randomly instally
free software computers in schools without a paln for their use which
enhances education for children fails in the long run. If your interested
in helping to develop the political background needed for the adaptation
of Free Software programs, and to develop the necessary studies to show that
such education is valuable to children, your welcom to join us in our efforts.
Contact Rob Marino, the Chairman of the NYLXS Education sub-committee at
prmarino-at-nylxs.com and join the NYLXS mailing list, hangout-at-nylxs.com
