  Hi there,

  I am writing you today as a member of the Simple End User Linux
project
  (http://www.seul.org), which fosters the development of end-user
  centered open source applications for Linux.

  Where SEUL fosters general several open source projects, SEUL-EDU
  focuses directly on open source applications for education. SEUL-EDU
  already has quite a number of software packages aimed specifically for
  educational use, all of which are free / open software.

  We are particularly interested in the Linux in Education track for
your
  upcoming conference in Montreal (10-12 April), particularly because we
  have gathered substantial resources for educational use, from
individual
  applications to systems for grade management, along with substantial
  documentation for the use of Linux in the classroom.

  SEUL-EDU as a group is international in scope, with members here in
  Canada, France, US, UK, Taiwan, and elsewhere. As such, our members 
  have
  many varied experiences, ranging from: the use of X-terminals in the
  classroom; use of a specialized, education-centric DTD of XML for
record
  management (EDUML); interactive geometry software (Dr. GEO); a
  specialized minimal install of Linux for low-power, 3-486 computers
  (Tiny); Periodic table application (GPeriodic); Web-based, educational
  system administration app (K12Admin); Grade book app for KDE 
  (KTeacher);
  Math training system (Promath).

  Although I realize that the deadline for the Call for Papers has
passed,
  I only became aware of this conference recently. As such, if there is
  still room in the Linux in Schools track at this conference, our group
  would be very interested in presenting a communication to share our
work
  and experiences with Linux in education.

  Looking forward to your reply,

  Pete
