Hi John,
I'm very interested to hear about your radio project in Rua Red and would
be willing to lend a hand.
I'm working next door to you in County Hall as the Information Systems
Research and Development Officer. Previously I managed the Connect School
Project in St Aidan's Community School, Brookfield, Tallaght where we
rolled out Edubuntu Netbooks to about half the students, circa 250.
I'd be very interested is seeing the setup and getting an idea of how I
could help.
As I say I'm working next door in County Hall so if you'd like to drop me
an email to rherron at sdublincoco.ie then we can take it from there.
I should also mention that I've worked with Patricia Baker in the past too.
Regards
Ronan
