MDLUG will have two case studies to contribute as soon as they wind 
down (probably in the next month) and the fellow most active in them 
has a chance to write them up.

Mexico more or less abandoned the project when they realized they 
didn't have enough people qualified to administer the project and 
they got hit with (you guessed it!) a battalion of neatly dressed 
Microsoft sales reps.

Australias' Northern Territories school district, however, is another 
story altogether. :-)

MDLUG has joined forces with Schoolforge for our educational program. 
See our site at its temporary home:

I hadn't forgotten about the KLUG inschool initiative but was 
banished from the regular mailing list (irritated the wrong guy ... 
he can just stay irritated) and didn't realize that my inschool 
subscription had survived.

Possibly I will get booted from this list, too. But I am pretty sure 
at least this single message will get through. 

Consider this an invitation to take a look at Schoolforge and 
possibly even join forces with it. I think there are at least 35 
(international) members now.
