====== Meeting Notes ====== \\ ===== December 30, 2016 ===== \\ John and Alan, at the Gyro house.\\ \\ We talked about putting together a consulting practice to package a Linux based thin client lab for schools with limited resources. We reviewed the findings listed on the main page of [[The Zero Dollar Lab Project]]. We also reviewed information from [[http://avataracloud.com/|Avatara]] and their Windows thin client offering. We looked at articles on schools and Open Source computing from [[opensource.com]]. We also discussed a plan using [[http://pinet.org.uk/|PiNet]].\\ \\ The plan we came up with is as follows:\\ \\ - To start tracking hours on the project. - Build a prototype server/thin client setup for testing and demonstrations. - Develop a cost plan for our setup. - Build a sales model on what we could offer our plan in various forms as a consulted or turnkey service. - Have a working plan that can be offered by the end of calendar 2018. - We realized that while the Zero Dollar Lab Project was a good name to start, we would need to change it.
