A Student Perspective On Open-Source Technology
Ex-NFL Player To Speak At Agriculture Event
Penn Manor High School student Max Bushong, who apprentices at the school’s 1-to-1 student help desk, contributed a chapter to a book on opensource technology for educators. Not many high school students can boast that they are published authors, but Penn Manor High School sophomore Max Bushong can make that claim at age 15. Max wrote a chapter in the new book “The Open Organization Guide for Educators” about his experience as a help desk apprentice for the high
school’s 1-to-1 laptop program. The 241-page book was published in September by Red Hat, the world’s largest open-source software support company, to showcase open technology initiatives in education. Penn Manor’s 1-to-1 program, offered in grades four through 12, runs on Linux, a free open-source software See Student Perspective pg 8
At age 29, after four successful years with the Baltimore Ravens and three with the St. Louis Rams, center Jason Brown walked away from football and into an entirely unrelated career. Some people, when they retire, become “gentleman farmers,” with a few acres and a handful of cattle that they can manage with low stress and minimal effort. Jason and his wife, Tay, had a much bigger dream, and they bought a 1,000-acre farm in Louisburg, N.C. The one problem? Neither Jason nor Tay had experience farming. Just as he did with football skills, Jason turned to YouTube to learn what he needed to run a farm. “I grew up with a little bit of a green thumb, did a little bit of landscaping with my father, as far as planting shrubs and trees and flowers here and there, but doing it on a large scale? No, this was totally brand new to me,” See Ag Banquet pg 3
