Enthousiasm is viral. Few visitors or exhibitors at the VLOD education fair last week in Gent, Belgium were able to avoid the ubuntu-be.org volunteers, our booth and our Ubuntu enthousiasm.
Four days, thousands of visitors, hundreds of conversations and Ubuntu install sets later. Ubuntu has a meaning and a face now to many teachers, school IT coordinators and their bosses.
We know a lot more now about Ubuntu use at schools in Flanders. Some serious use, some skinny dipping. Definitely enough for a few spectacular success stories... in a few weeks, or by someone else.
Annelies Bollen, François and Xavier Cauwe, Ismaël Demiddel, Guy Duportail from linux-service.be, Jan Fabry, Jens Timmerman, Dieter Vanderfaillie, Richard Weidemann. They transmitted the Ubuntu virus to you at VLOD. If you ever meet one of them, buy them a drink. Hm, François Cauwe and Guy Duportail might be really thirsty after their gargantuan efforts. A bottle might be more appropriate for them...
