Jon, My understanding is that some people at Fedora wanted to start this list specifically to talk about what Fedora could do to work more closely with K12LTSP. As tends to happen with these things (especially on new lists), the conversation has veered off into a different direction than might have been intended, that is, a broader discussion about advocacy. So yes, if some ideas for broader intitiatives come out of this impromptu thread, they'll probably be implemented on some more neutral ground. I think everyone here is on the same page, although the guys at Fedora may be wondering how their new list got pulled off topic so quickly ;-) And I certainly appreciate your input. I'm sure we all do. --Tom
