One of the aspect of the Boy Scouts open source project that has me
excited is the opportunity to spread the word about OSS.  We'll be
building a section of the site called "About Open Source" that will be
dedicated to educating the world about open source.  The About Open
Source section will be a Wiki and the open source community (NTLUG
included) will be invited to build the content.
