"Eugene Clement alerted us to his new project, 
linuxastronomy.org.  The scope of this project is the building of 
a telescope system, capable of being accessed over the internet 
with the use of a web browser, by a remote user.  But the impetus 
behind the project, in Eugene's words, is this:

"Some of us, take care of kids with goal to help them through 
their tough life, like kids that have some difficulties, or no 
real family.  By including them into the project, they will not 
only get attention, but also a chance to interact with some nice 
people and a chance to learn how to use some tools and gain some 
skills.  It can be as simple as using a drill, or a saw, but it 
will help them to build confidence.

"Please take a look at linuxastronomy.org and help them out in 
any way you can."
