If we don't get any takers from regular seul-edu people we should do those 
things, agreed.  But, while I don't think we have an exclusive lock on things 
educational for Linux, I think we've probably given the needs of the 
educational community more thought than most other constituencies in the Linux 
community, and I'd like to see someone with a knowledge of those discussions 
take part in this.  I know we have some people in the San Francisco area, but 
that's a bit far from Glendale (in the LA area).  Is anyone closer?
