[NBLUG/talk] Letter to K12 schools

I recently wrote (with help) a letter introducing Open Source software
and mailed it to over thirty K12 schools in the Davis area (along with the
recently-created school-oriented brochure for OpenOffice.org[1],
and/or my own pamphlet about Tux Paint[2]).

I sent the letter this Wednesday, and last night cleaned up the document
(made it 'generic') and posted it as an OpenOffice.org Writer doc (".sxw"),
RichText (".rtf") and plain ASCII text (".txt"), released under the
GNU Free Document License (GNU FDL):

A number of people have asked for copies, so I've decided to plug it to
the local LUGs generally.  Enjoy! :^)
