[Léo Studer]

You guys may like this initiative from the French side 
http://www.gesnel.fr/ubuntu/
It's a French website called "Ubuntu en salle des profs" and it's great 
to read.
That was my tiny input...
Good luck with the education project, it's crucial to raise awareness 
about open source in the mind of the youth.
