I think that this could be really interesting.
Another thing that could be done regarding Debian and education is
to do something ala (don't hate me) Ubuntu by preparing cds/dvds and
sending them to public schools from places with little/no resources,
which unfortunately tend to receive privative software at *low cost* (!).
Note that I'm not referring to just "hey, let's giveaway free cds! \o/"
like Ubuntu does, but something more like the OLPC project.
The downside of this idea is that will probably be too expensive,
but OTOH 1 u$s =~ 4 $AR, and I'm sure that in many places the
conversion rate goes in a similar way.
Saludos,
Mauro
