Ian Lynch pointed out a new UK-based resource site for schools using open source software, called Open Source Schools.

“The Schools Open Source Project is an initiative to help schools with awareness, adoption, deployment, use and ongoing development of Open Source Software (OSS)…

“The project will provide an authoritative, informative and impartial website that will raise awareness of how OSS can be used to enhance teaching and school infrastructures. The project will then develop and support a community of practice that engages those who are currently using OSS and welcomes and supports new members.”

The site is very attractive, built in Drupal, and provides many community features, so I expect it to become a very useful resource as it continues to grow.
