[school-discuss] Needing estimates

[Jennifer Dozar <jennifer@orange.zorcat.com>]

I am taking a project management class right now, and for my current
project i decided to map out a transition project for a school district.
Migrating them from MS to Linux. I was curious of how much a school or
district would spend on renewing licensing for their computers a year.
How much would that run?  I am pseudo running this through the summer
while the kids are on summer break, so i am make believeing this is a
wonderfully feasible task :)   how many people do you think it would
take to do at least one school to backup certain files and install say
Debian on the computers?  What would be a reasonable fee for
repairs/problems to offer to a school/district for such a migration? 

The absolutely horrible irony of this is, I HAVE to use MS project to do
this stupid thing on. *sigh*  It is painful to my spirit and morality!
Let me know some ideas and feedback how i could plan out this project.
Even give me some past expierence and stories for such a project if you
have done one! let me know!! :)  Then maybe i can use it as a model one
day for when i get the opportunity to spread the joy of linux to my
local school district!  Thanks ahead of time!
