Re: [Debian-NYC] Tech Teacher NoviceNight
Hola,
I agree with you that the event should still be open to the public. My
hope with focusing on education at the event is to give more tech
teachers the option of using Linux to solve their problems.
Unfortunately I won't be there Wednesday because of a prior
commitment. I agree that the exact content of the event should be
decided on to make it most useful. And, I see in re-reading that some
of my topics do not fall under the novice category (YET!).
Let's see how many of the NYCIST folks come tomorrow. If that event
satisfies the Linux novices then we can focus on a Debian-in-schools
workshop with appropriate demos.
(I'm replying to this while in transit. My apologies if I did not
address a point you raised.)
