Craig Agranoff has a new post on Fedena, an open source management software system for schools. The article is a little short on details, though it is known that the project is built using Ruby on Rails. From the post:
Most small campuses, private schools, and so forth will likely find something useful with Fedena, but the app is basically a beta offering that doesn’t have full functionality everywhere you’d expect. It is free, however, and it appears Foradian plans to monetize it through value added services like phone support, online hosting for schools that don’t have their own, and possibly through some premium offers forthcoming.

Wow..nice initiative…
