[[User:Kwade|Karsten Wade]] pondered<ref>http://iquaid.org/2010/08/09/pondering-a-solution-for-a-k12-strategy-or-treating-our-community-leadership-team-like-a-foss-project/</ref> "a solution for a K12 strategy, or Treating our community leadership team like a FOSS project." Karsten imagines "a person, or a few people, deeply passionate about open source, young people, and education. We recognize that a big selling point for people is that FOSS can save cash-strapped schools a lot of budget. However, we think the higher goal is to teach open source participation" and looks back at how different communities (for example Fedora) have influenced others (such as RHEL).
