[K12OSN] Ubuntu & Edubuntu : Canonical Education Programme Manager - Personal Introduction

[Richard Weideman]

Thanks Eric ...

I did respond to Mel on a one-on-one basis, and he is now a happy
chappy.

I've just gone past midnight, and am off to bed.

Let me know about post-hack-fest school visit options if you are up for
it.

I'll need to get the visa application process under way soon, especially
with the latest travel security.

Goodnight
Richard
