Yes. If I understand right, there will have a demo area where students, 
parents, teachers and school principals will be able to try FLOSS classroom 
applications.

They have also offered us this, so we can have a couple machines with KDE-Edu

As an ex-teacher, I would like to go with you. I think GCompris would be a 
great application to show at the event.

It looks like the best days to go would be the 27th and 28th.
