SchoolForge

SchoolForge

SchoolForge is a coalition of open source software development groups, school boards, curriculum advisory panels, and other organizations intent on advancing the use of Free Software, Open Source Software, and Open Content in Educational systems, world-wide. The name was inspired by the SourceForge way of doing things but with a focused slant toward "unleashing the power of Free Software" in school systems.

The Purpose of Schoolforge

"Schoolforge's mission is to unify independent organizations that advocate, use, and develop open resources for education. Schoolforge is intended to empower member organizations to make open educational resources more effective, efficient, and ubiquitous by enhancing communication, sharing resources, and increasing the transparency of development. Schoolforge members advocate the use of open source and free software, open texts and lessons, and open curricula for the advancement of education and the betterment of humankind."
