@ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc They also claim "linux devices aren't allowed on our network" although they stopped saying that right after I pointed out Android's lineage...

@meejah @glyph @mhoye @mcc I've heard that claim too...

And why, I'd ask them? What's the threat?

@ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc I've not heard that articulated clearly. Basically pretty boring: "it's more work", I think :(

@meejah @glyph @mhoye @mcc Which isn't even so. It's just a different OS, but it speaks the same TCP and IP.

@ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc Logic doesn't work against giant bureaucracies :(

@ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc ("Don't ask permission" and all: my kids have only linux laptops and haven't yet had actual problems when taking them to school...)

@meejah
(i get it, but this a really weird phrase. why in hell would anyone even consider to ask for permission to connect a device that speaks tcp/ip to a network that speaks tcp/ip? they always manage to suck us a bit into to their warped insane worldviews)

@ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc All that said, if any other #yyc dwellers have the intestinal fortitude to help with this, I'm absolutely game. I'm the wrong person to lead this, though; I'm not going to keep my mouth shut enough :/ at the required meetings...but I will help technically and directly with students.
