I've heard lots alluded to. Next week I'll be visiting the US DoE to talk with some folks there about their various open source / open content initiatives, and I intend to post a full briefing to this list. Look for something next Saturday. --g <blockquote type="cite">On Jan 15, 2010 9:28 AM, "Tom Hoffman" <<a href="mailto:tom.hoffman@gmail.com">tom.hoffman@gmail.com</a>> wrote: Anyone know anything about this? --Tom ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Puttick <<a href="mailto:cputtick@gmail.com">cputtick@gmail.com</a>> Date: Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 2:36 AM Subject: [sf-uk-discuss] US edu contacts To: <a href="mailto:sf-uk-discuss@googlegroups.com">sf-uk-discuss@googlegroups.com</a> Hi all I've been given a tip that President Obama is launching an edu challenge for open source next week. Any US-based contacts might benefit from a heads up as depending on the details this could be a real boost for open source in education there. I guess if we retain the same government after the next election we will presumably copy this idea in about 5 years...
