I have started to learn to program and it seems to me that Linux can be used in K-12 schools right now if someone sets up the computers for them. This is true for Windows and Macs too. I also came to the conclusion that I have to help with this. Teachers need this. I do know it's possible to deliver a quality OS and software package that will meet their needs for a fraction of what they are spending now.
Support needs to be addressed too.
I hope to officially announce this project in a week or two. I need some time to acquire some help and partners to see this through properly. So far the responses have been very encouraging. I'll compile and post a list of all those who are working with me on this soon. I'll be needing help with all you've offered and I'll try my best not to take advantage.
