I am sorry but it is not where my talents are. 
I am bad at languages and teaching. (dyslectic and impacient).

My role morely is using SOAS, testing it on some hardware, getting it to
a localschool. And if possible getting people on board (+4 now). And
also (as most of us) my time very limited. I really focus on local
activities.  

>From this role I see a low acceptance by "normal" people. Normal is
defined here: Teachers, kids, parents who are none ict aware. They don't
know were to start to read and have short of time/attention span. 

If this kind of input is not wanted pls let me know (it would save a lot
of typing time).  

Actually floss is bad at doing their PR is general. If i need a
corporate firewall or storage device there are shiny flyers and
documentation. Vendors will come to me and sell me their solution.

So if I want a *BSD or OpenSolaris to run my storage/firewall it really
is hard to convince my manager (and their directors) to use this FLOSS.

To change this good materials are needed. So there is good reason to not
have me for this job.  

kind regards,
Marten
