It's exciting isn't it!?

Max and I have talked about what he's doing with GNU Generation and it's 
looking pretty impressive to be honest.

You may remember Google's "highly open participation" contest where 
pre-university students were encouraged to get involved in major free 
software projects with there being various incentives for participation...

This is a similar kind of movement and I'm really looking forward to it 
gaining some momentum and really kicking off.

If you haven't seen http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/gnugeneration I 
strongly recommend taking a look.

Tim
