Hey Nathan,

Cool to see schools using Ubuntu. I'm a computer science student at Otago
Uni and have been heavily involved in Ubuntu for a few months now, at the
moment I'm the Ubuntu Manual team lead and with a bit of luck will be
heading to the developer summit in Belgium this May.

I'd be interested in working on a way to convince more schools in Otago to
make the jump to open source / Ubuntu. Do you head into Dunedin often? I
would be interested in meeting up for coffee at some point to have a chat.

You should jump in the #ubuntu-nz IRC chatroom on freenode if you don't
already know about it.
