The founding members of The Open Source Education Foundation (OSEF) met while working at an elementary school in Tucson, Arizona. A local business donated 32 computers to the school, however the school district was unable to install them due to support issues. Personnel with the school district, contacted Harry McGregor and asked if he would install the lab. Mr. McGregor planned an Open Source implementation in Fall 1998 and the lab was installed and working by January 1999 with the help of many other Open Source Software enthusiaists. The lab was working well but the administration time was exceeding the schedule of Mr. McGregor, a full time student at a local community college, so he asked members of The Tucson Free Unix Group for assistance. Kyle Buehler, Scott Corey, Nick Lopez, Tom Rini, Justin Zeigler and many others assisted Mr. McGregor with the task.
