This hasn't been discussed for a while, but if the Education  
Committee wants to host the files on osgeo.org, that's no problem.   
I'd suggest that the Edu. group start an educational library with  
public domain downloads available and put yours in there.  We have a  
similar library (under development) for promotional material and  
presentations.  Having a branch of it for education would make a lot  
of sense.

Anyone from the Web Committee, including myself, can help get the  
files online for you when ready.
