'''Ubuntu at School: A better OS for students'''

This event will feature 'demonstration' computers for the public to experiment with and a presentation lead by Ben Sheron a student at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology). The event will focus on why Ubuntu is a better OS for students.

The New York State Local Community is working to secure at least one demonstration machine from [[www.system76.com|System76]] and potentially one other local vendor that offers Ubuntu as an OS choice on their custom built computers.
