As an active participant at the LA stand at the 2006 Education Expo in Sydney, 
I wholeheartedly support this. Last year, we were by far the most popular 
stand. I have found that parents and educators are very receptive to the 
principles of sharing and freedom that are so intrinsic to FOSS. Not to 
mention that FOSS is perfect for cash-strapped schools and families.

CeBIT was great, but education is where the real action and fun is :)
