[Inschool] Re: [KLUG Members] Working Together to get Linux in schools

Doc,

I'm excited to hear about the Building Bridges project and have
forwarded your email to several people who may be interested as
well.  You've convinced me to sign up to the inschool mailing
list :)

Sounds like everyone could benefit from that -- area organizations,
WMU, and high school students alike.  I've done computer programming
mentoring with the Kalamazoo Area Math-Science Center before.  While
this would be somewhat different, I'd be interested in committing
some small amount of my time, say an hour a week, during the school
year, to help high school students with this kind of work.  I can
offer advice and pointers on networking, programming, hardware to
some extent, that kind of thing.
