Good point about the thrust of the piece.
Moodle and Linux “suffer” from similar issues, in edu contexts. People can get very enthusiastic about them (especially because Open Source as a process is so compatible with learning). But it’s easy to get bogged down in details and evaluate tools as either appropriate or not based on features or degree of adoption.
In cases like these, it might be important to stress that Linux (or Moodle, etc.) may not be “the solution to all your problems.” But to show what makes Linux appropriate in a given context. Helping people evaluate their needs. Get them to try Linux out.
Your WiZiQ presentation was quite good for this. Like an increasing number of Linux enthusiasts, you’re able to describe Linux in a thoughtful way, without resorting to the tired “you need to use it because it’s better” line.

One of my goals is not just show open source as a ‘solution’ but as part of a practice. After all MS is not really made for schools either (folder, files, documents belong to an office) not so much of a school.
Good practices of technology empowered by open source means that you can instantly implement these technology/practices without expecting or waiting your school to adopt it. Is true that the OLPC laptop might not be acquired by every school. But every school can use the software of the OLPC on their Intel desktop computers right now.

Good point about the OLPC. It might even be a more important impact the project has had than this move to push laptops on governments.
