Hi folks, Excuse the philanthropic spam, but Walter suggested this would be a reasonable spot for this announcement.
SchoolTool is a project to create free and administrative software for schools around the world, particularly in the developing countries. SchoolTool was conceived by Mark Shuttleworth, who remains the primary funder of the project. Much more information about SchoolTool is available at http://schooltool.org We're excited to announce an initiative to provide 50,000 Euro in custom development grants to help schools, government, and organizations in the developing world to pilot and deploy SchoolTool for computer based school management. This could be an excellent compliment to a OLPC deployment. Much more here: http://book.schooltool.org/htmlhelp/grant-rfp.html Also, my initial guess is that integration into the OLPC school server wouldn't be the first step in the process -- we'd rather focus on functionality first -- but if we had a successful OLPC-based pilot we'd almost certainly then work on XS integration.
