Teams collaborating in/with Edubuntu

One of the great things of the London summit was the fact of having many
people of many projects wanting to collaborate on many goals, most of them
reachable within the Edubuntu framework.

I think we should state this in a very visible place of the Edubuntu site
(first paragraphs of the homepage, I would say). The default impression of
a newcomer may be really different if they see the current Edubuntu
homepage as it is or they may find easily who is supporting /
collaborating with this initiative apart from the obvious Ubuntu (and
Canonical) team.

Skolelinux/Debian-Edu, K12LTSP, TuxLabs, Guadalinex are just four (good)
examples of projects interested in contributing of the success of Edubuntu
because it would help their own projects' success.

This also breaks the "with us or against us" scenario that still many
people see when considering Debian-Ubuntu, Linex-Guadalinex, etc.
Debian-Edu and K12LTSP are very clear examples of this. Explaining the
common and open effort of collaboration that has already started to happen
will make this project more credible for the vfree software community (and
more scary for the proprietary software guys, I believe).
