Re: Request for EDU contacts

Josh,
Let's work together on this, as I've also been working in this space
and so have others, including Mark Surman of Mozilla Foundation. We
can discuss this offlist, and on the Google Group I set up a while
ago, though it is more focused on universities than general education,
and I tend to think now the scope must be broadened.

See: http://groups.google.ca/group/foss-universities

It used to have an embarrassing amount of spam. I spent some quality
time deleting it.
