I'll just add my info and links here.  I'm guilt of recreating the
wheel often myself, but if what I've already done is helpful, all the
better.

I run the Open Source Pavilion for the NECC (15,000 attendees) and CUE
(5,000 attendees) ed tech shows.  We have a great relationship with
both, and have a speakers series on FLOSS at each show that is part of
the regular show agenda.  I also frequently blog and speak on FLOSS in
education, and (like many others) have set up a wiki and a mail list.
I have an audio interview series on FLOSS in ed, and have interviewed
Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond, and many others.  I've also recently
taken a part-time consulting job with CoSN.org as their project lead
for the Open Technologies initiative.
