Hi Thomas

This sounds fantastic, I'm glad all 17 students were able to get it
installed. I am talking at the education miniconf as part of Linux
Conf Australia. (A big linux/free software conference in this part of
the world, I think 700 people at the conference this year).
I will mention the work you did, because I think it is something that
people often over look. As Koha is Free and Open Source Software, not
only can it be used for it's main purpose, running a library, but it
can be used as a teaching and learning tool.

So thank you for exposing your students to Koha, and thank you for
giving me another neat thing to talk about today :)
