The organization you should know about is Freegeek:

  http://www.freegeek.org/

They are based in Portland do tons of great work in a number of
areas. They ship a derivative of Debian called the "Freekbox" and,
IIRC, discussed using Ubuntu early on in the development cycle of
their recent or upcoming release.

In terms of LTSP, stuff, one of their employees (former employee now)
is the author of lessdisks which is a Debian-centric terminal server
project. As LTSP embraces Ubuntu, this will become less of a problem,
but I think they are good allies to have. :)

Mako
