Re: [seul-edu] School count

[Jennifer Dozar <jennifer@grawk.net>]

I made a list. it is on my page at
http://www.grawk.net/~jennifer/OSschools/

More specifically,
http://www.grawk.net/~jennifer/OSschools/SchoolCount.html

This list is for other schools, IT people, Open Souce Educators, etc. not
for "Sales" people.  this is a refrence to knwo who is actually doing
this, hopefully.   ANd not just some list that might be taken advantage of
by sales people. 

if there is any information that is missing, or you feel you would like to
add or correct, please let me know. email me. Thank you everyone! I hope
more schools will be added to my list. And please feel free to link it or
refrence it for your needs.
