Re: [K12OSN] direction of k12ltsp ?

Hi,

I was not advocating that Red Hat is going anywhere, simply that with the change in policy many who has deployed K12LTSP into schools will be very concerned. The main  reason K12LTSP has had so much appeal in the pedagogical environment was that it was FREE,  thereby cutting the ridiculous OS expenditures.
Some may be linguistically challenged but I'm quite aware that a "fedora" is also a hat ...... just that the "red" one has had a substantial price increase :-D
hmmm some may want to consider the Novell acquisition of Suse & Ximian as an alternative to status quo....... ;-)

what will happen to the future of K12ltsp ? Specifically all those that 
have initiated K12LTSP projects in schools, are we to be left by  the 
wayside?
      

Would everyone please stop this?  RedHat is NOT going away!  It is a
simple change in business model which MAY be for the better.  The Fedora
project is simply going to do has been done all along....only in a more
"open" manner!  Remember....a Fedora is a hat. too!  :-)  This "the sky is
falling" attitude needs to stop....let's see what happens....my honest
opinion is that things will continue to move along fine as they are now.
