Sounds like a great idea. You're the one with the Youth Technology Summit
vision, so go for it. Perhaps others can follow your example in their own
communities.

I'm sure no one would be against you promoting the goals of Schoolforge as you
see fit and using the words on the main site.

Anything pertaining to particular members should be cleared by those members, of
course. Otherwise, whatever you do as a member of schoolforge that promotes our
common goals is probably ok? You could post your press release on
news.schoolforge.net, too.

Comments from anyone else?
