I should add that there have been valuable, contributing 
French members of SEUL and SEUL/edu virtually since their 
inception.  Hilaire, Odile, Bruno, et. al., have done much 
to further the goals we all share.

On a slightly different note, Harry McGregor, Paul Nelson, 
all the other folks from Portland, and I are doing very 
well at the NECC conference we're currently attending. 
The awareness of Linux by the attendees here ranges from 
none at all, through mild recognition of the name, to 
"yes, we're already doing that at our school."  We've made 
what I hope are some valuable contacts with educators and 
educational groups.  Some of them may show up here and on 
Schoolforge in the coming days; please help us all make 
them feel welcome and excited about the possibilities of 
using Linux in educational settings!
