US edu contacts

[Chris Puttick]

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...

Cheers

Chris

Do you have any sense of what "an edu challenge for open source" entails?
