[Moodle] wanted Ubuntu experts

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Every body noticed the huge user community that has sprung up to help fellow
teachers with free, open source software such as Moodle and Ubuntu! I
practically fell of my chair when I noticed all your posts and help.

As my 6 year old says, you are all so AWESOME!

Regards Roland
