Unfortunately, I don't think enough school administrations really have a handle on their own requirements in this area when it comes to planning for technology refreshes. If a consortium of school boards could get their heads together and come up with a standard technology refresh policy, which included minimum technology support lifetime requirements...companies like Canonical could tailor service/product portfolios at the education market much more clearly. As it is Canonical's support timelines are a best fit across multiple market segment categories. If education as as sector needs something like 5+ years of multi-vendor support for a particular collection of technology, they need to start saying that loudly and coherently.

I wonder who else is using Userful as I don't see many community members commenting on it. I know they were scouting among loco leads for reps all over Latinamerica but I haven't heard again about them for some time.
