[PLUG] Microsoft winning hearts and minds in east county

[Rich Shepard]

  Today's Oregonian/Metro East section has a large article on the top of
page 2 reporting that the Gresham charter school (used by Gresham, Reynolds
and two other districts here) are paying Microsoft to establish a technology
center in the school. Students attend their regular school half-time and the
charter school half-time where they are trained as Microserfs to "better
prepare them for the Real World".

  Looks like an opportunity for the linux-in-education Emergency Response
Team to swing into action!
