TOS List and Lynn: Ignore my prior email and meeting talks.
I foobar’ed this up. I am new to the Red Hat Education Outreach team, and new to the OSS in Edu space. I had thought that TOS <http://teachingopensource.org/> and POSSE <http://www.redhat.com/posse/> were synonymous - and am finding that they are very different things with similar visions. I basically shared out a private meeting notice.
