This evening a series of promos for NRK/Skole, a kind of educational version of YouTube running on Ontopia, will run on national TV in Norway. Specifically, on NRK1 at 1857, 2043, and 2257.

The Norwegian Open Source Competence Center wrote about the article in their blog.
Reports from various participants at the kickoff have now started to appear:
Still waiting for more reports in the press. Will post here when they appear.
