I am involved in the FOSS/Linux movement in Portland. Primarily my involvement is with Freegeek although I am also looking at creating a program to teach local teachers the basics of using Linux so that they can use it in the classroom. Tomorrow, (Memorial Day 2006) I will be interviewed on local community radio station KBOO about Linux and the Free/Open Source Software movement. I will confess to a small bit of nervousness. I've been on radio talk shows before as a caller but never as the guest. I don't know exactly why I am nervous about this but there it is. It's not as if I am a somebody in the movement. I'm a teacher at a non-profit where I give students an introduction into Linux after they have volunteered their time at Freegeek and earned what we call Freekboxes. These machines run Debian although I have used SuSE Linux for years now. I've been using Ubuntu for a few weeks now (the new version code-named Dapper Drake) and am most impressed with it. I now use Linux on my laptop as well as on my desktop machine now. I am on the verge of moving my laptop entirely to Linux although I still maintain a small Windows partition.
