[Fhsst-authors] FHSST / Shuttleworth Foundation cooperation

[Mark Horner]

Hi Everyone

I just wanted to let everyone know of an exciting development regarding 
cooperation between us and the Shuttleworth Opensource division (not 
related to the Innovation Bazaar hosted by their Education division 
which we are also attending).

We have reached an informal understanding they will use our content as 
the basis for web-based lessons to be used in their tuXlabs they have 
been setting up in various schools (at least 64 already!). More info on 
tuXlabs can be found on:

The important points are:

- we agree on the licencing completely
- they'll co-brand the content so we can get some advertising (this 
hopefully will help with our books being accepted later)
- we are still 100% committed to producing printed texts this just saves 
us the effort of moving stuff over to a web-based format and it saves 
them having to write content from scratch :)

Of course there are always details to be finalised and agreed upon but I 
just wanted to let everyone know about this very positive development!

I would also like to remind everyone that Spencer and Rory will be 
travelling to Johannesburg on the 25th October to participate in the 
Shuttleworth Foundation Innovation Bazaar where we hope to raise money 
to get things really rolling next year.
