Setup to blog from iPhone

Posted by jfluhmann on 25th January 2009

Now that I’ve installed the Wordpress app on my iPhone, I should have no excuse for not keeping up. Though it’s more tedious to use the iPhone to type up a blog entry, I have a feeling I’ll be using this app relatively more often.

Texas Open Source Symposium

Posted by jfluhmann on 25th January 2009

The Texas Open Source SymposiumI’m still contemplating organizing another Open Source Symosium this year.  I may put it off until next year since I’m strapped for “free-time”.  I had thought about trying to move it to Dallas, but my wife recommended that I keep it in San Angelo (afterall, the main purpose for having it in San Angelo in the first place was to bring an open source conference to this area).  There have also been thoughts of taking it to Austin, but again, the same reasons against taking to Dallas apply.

I’m also working on putting together a presentation on Edubuntu Classroom Server for schools in our region (Region 15).  I would like to do a half day workshop and let those interested “test drive” the thin client setup.  It would help if they were able to test some of the applications that they use in the classroom or lab on a daily basis.  It would be nice if something like this helped address the online testing requirements.

I’ll try to post updates on my progress of the Edubuntu Classroom Server demonstration.
