Interesting news I'll say :)

Yes. In Skolelinux we got a tradition for reaching out, cooperating on
several levels, with several projects. GNU/LinEx in Extremadura
Spain[1] and Edubuntu[2] are two such communities we cooperate with:
1.

2. http://wiki.skolelinux.de/Kooperation/Edubuntu
We are planning an international "On Ramp" conference and developer
gathering June 5-8 early this summer. The agenda is twofold. First we
will share experiences with schools which have switched to free
software for several years with users who consider a switch. Second we
will organise a standard Skolelinux/Debian Edu developer gathering,
with an international focus. I'm just now in communication with Agder
University to host this event. They are positive to our proposed
program, but I need final confirmation from the institute we are in
contact with.
Anyway, why don't you join us in June?
Best regards
