I have been listening to Steve Hargadon about open source software and the future within education. An international group of influential gurus got together yesterday and worked on concepts and a road map for the future. Here is one of their note pages. You can see the other notes and ideas @ K12openminds Wiki.

He talked about how everyone who has success implementing open source in schools has done so not by promoting the benefits of "openness" but by promoting it as a practical solution, e.g., saving money.
