Hi Jason,

We had a couple of open source workshop that Tenet organized over the last couple of weeks at various undergraduate schools and as part of the concluding sessions we generally talk about various open hardwares that students can try their hands on and of course beagle-boards !

One of the requirements from various schools in India has been lack of knowledge (Reluctance on using Linux tools generally ) and also an organized way of learning Beagleboard and similar Linux based open source hardware in an academic environment !

I searched through the Beagleboard group and found that there are lot of efforts in the past ! Is there an updated thread that is latest that caters to this so that i can follow the same and ask questions and also contribute ?

Thanks,
Ram
