Director, CoroNet Information Systems Ltd.

Co-webmaster for this site, and interim Secretary of Schoolforge-UK.

In IT for over 30 years, the last 20 spent on e-Learning projects including mainframe, Teletext, Laserdisc, CDi, CD-ROM and of course, dead trees. The last 8 years on web based projects.

I'm involved in education through my two children, who attend(ed) the Rudolf Steiner School in Kings Langley. I do the school timetable and other stuff. My eyes were opened when I worked with SunRay thin clients at Sun Microsystems, and later with LTSP and K12LTSP, but my commitment to free software goes deeper than that.

One other thing, a couple of years ago I spent a lot of time working with my ISP to get them accredited by Becta. We failed, but I learned there's a very big hill to climb.
Update: And we're climbing it faster that I expected! 27 May 2005

Thanks for all your work getting this wiki started John, nice one! RichardRothwell

You're welcome! This is a fantastic tool. I want to see it become a reliable source for all that is needed to bring free software INTO education soon. JohnIngleby
