Sun Spins Off Education Project as a Nonprofit
Back in June, at Sun Microsystems Inc.'s JavaOne conference, Sun CEO Scott McNealy spent the better half of his keynote address talking about Sun's foray into solving the problems of educators everywhere-by taking the open-source paradigm into the world of teaching materials. "Instead of 'No Child Left Behind,'" said McNealy, "we [want] 'No Child Held Back.'"
Now, McNealy and Sun are taking that project even further. Sun will announce Wednesday that it is spinning off its effort to create an online, open-source educational resource library as a nonprofit organization. McNealy will announce the move as part of his keynote at Educause '05, an educational information technology conference being held in Orlando, Fla., this week.
