SchoolForge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SchoolForge is a coalition of open source software development groups, school boards, curriculum advisory panels, and other organizations intent on advancing the use of Open Source Software and Open Content in Educational systems, world-wide. The name was inspired by the SourceForge way of doing things but with a focused slant toward "unleashing the power of Open Source" in school systems.
