This initiative intrigues me, Ben. Inveneo's involvement catches my eye - I met some of their folks at the WSF in Nairobi last January, and I'm interested in what they're doing with sustainable ICT, including low-power gear, renewable energy sources, and open-source IT platforms.

I also like that they focus on education - I believe this is a good approach. I also think the way you are networking coops together makes sense.

I can't offer much from my own nascent experience yet, but I'm interested in following your progress. Keep doing what you're doing!
