Feel free to start with our seul-edu.info file when you're designing such
an invitation:

Welcome to the seul-edu mailing list.  This list is intended for the
discussion of using Linux for educational purposes.  These include using
Linux for student machines in school computer labs (primarily kindergarten
through grade 12), using Linux for faculty and staff use in K12 schools, and
using Linux for educational purposes on home computers.

Discussion is open to (but not limited to) what programs should be found,
ported, or developed for Linux to make it useable by teachers; what programs
are desired by home users for personal education of themselves and their
children; and what courseware is and should be available for student use in
schools.

We don't intend to create a new Linux distribution targeted at schools
(although we would support such a distro if one became available) but to
coordinate the discussion and development of things educational for Linux.
To that end we hope to stay in close contact with all the various
Linux-in-education projects and discussion fora that have recently begun to
appear.

We invite you to send a brief introduction of yourself to the list, so
we can keep track of what resources we have available and who our
audience is.

If you wish to receive status reports and announcements of the SEUL project
(including the seul-edu project), you should subscribe to seul-announce
(send mail to majordomo@seul.org with no subject and a body of "subscribe
seul-announce"). It is a very low traffic mailing list.

The archives for this list can be found at
