I have been in contact with a couple of universities that would be
interested on hosting a KDE Edu meeting, they would even have some people
who could help us (not with the same experience as Mario, of course :).

The thing is that I think that KDE Edu needs a lot of influence from the
education community that we're not getting, making the meetings happen in
schools or universities could help us with that. Also it would be nice if we
could invite some teachers to the meeting as well.

I can contact those people and ask them to give me some definitive answer.
(if anybody wants to contact them, you can ask me in private, I'm not
disclosing just because they can't promise anything).
