What was your favorite article? If you don’t like living in the past, what/who would you like to hear more about/from in 2011? (Email me or comment below.)

We believe open source in education is imperative to the future of education. Progress has been made over the year but we have a lot more work to do. So, 2011, here we come! We hope you are ready.

Best wishes as we head into a new year. Thank you for your support without it, we would not be as successful.

Goodbye 2010. Hello 2011.
