Promoting Open Source in Vietnam
In December, 2009, VTV visited Hakata Consulting’s Founder, Kevin Miller, Jr., Linux Lab at the American International School. Kevin spent three years at AIS teaching his students about Linux and open source software.

Ms. Quynh Ngoc from VTV visited my Linux lab at the American International School today through a referral by An Nguyen of SaigonLUG. Though we knew about it for a couple days, we only received permission from the school at the last minute. My students were not prepared but since this was a normal lab day, I was not worried.
