> released for last year's testing, and this public middle school ended 
> up ranking very high, probably first or second, despite the fact that 
> 1) the school deliberately recruits from underperforming kids; and 2) 
> 75% of the kids come from households below federal poverty 
> guidelines.

> We recently received 30 chubby terminals from the Alameda County 
> Computer Resource Center, which will help speed up our lab's 
> performance, thus nicely displaying the power and stability of FOSS.

> I am estimating that we will be working between 10:30 am and 5 pm.  As 
> most of you know, the school is located at 1430 Scott Street, on the 
> southeastern corner of Geary and Scott.
