Hello,

Well, as Alejandro said, I believe it could be a fantastic innitiative,
but... At least if it comes about Poland, there are let's call it SIGs on
campuses here, inter alia those related to Linux. What my concern is, how to
connect the both groups and how to cooperate with them. Because by then we
would be the only distribution which has such project running on campuses.
Of course it would be a kind of honor to be part of such innitiative... my
doubt is if it wouldn't be duplication of work, and you know, these voices
that we're trying to make our own way of promoting Open Source... :)
Althouth by then we could be the pace setting side ones, and that could be
the fantastic side... ;) I hope you know what I mean :D

Cheers,
Pawel
