He has been a dedicated Linux evangelist and supporter since 2004, when he and William Fragakis established a highly successful computer program at Morris Brandon Elementary School using K12LTSP with dozens of Open Source educational applications which tripled the number of working PCs in each classroom. The substantial improvements in student performance attributed to the Linux technology convinced administrators to install Linux student computers throughout the Atlanta Public Schools system, and as of September 2008, over 30 Atlanta schools have been converted and now use Linux thin clients with a 2:1 student to PC ratio.
