I did thought about this before in a blog entry. I had a good email exchange with Jun Iio of MRI about their project in some prefectures in Japan called OSDS. Miss Clair is quite familiar with it since I sent her a good translated link.
Just yesterday, I received an email from Benjamin Hill, one of the community heads of Ubuntu and took interest in a wiki entry I made recently because it was basically a proposal on the advocacy/use of Ubuntu linux in the field of public education. It turned out that Ubuntu "Head Hog" Mark Shuttleworth has deep interest in the same field. Give me a heads up in case something like this gets underway...I'll make sure to bring boxes of Ubuntu CDs for distribution. Start 'em young I'd say!
