108 +1. Pilot program: June 1, 2015 with annual renewal. The initial project~-~-designing and delivering a K12 course on open source software~-~- was completed on schedule with the organization of the Open Source Computer Club at Maple Hill Middle School in the fall in 2015. The program culminated with a [[presentation by students of their work>>url:http://www.schodack.k12.ny.us/stories/2014-15/Open-Source-Computer-Club.php]] at the University at Albany's Open Source Festival.
109 +1. Program/resource guide: June 2016 with annual renewal. A comprehensive curriculum conforming to the ITSE standards was developed along with teaching and learning resources to, 1. ensure the program was in line with U.S. national standards, 2. give adopting schools/districts confidence that the educational program, is comprehensive and complete, 3. help schools just starting with the program deliver a standard course, and 4. provide a launching point for further development based on unique local needs.
110 +1. The final goal is to find a qualified and supported organization to hand the incubator project off to.

115 +It is expected that once the Incubator Project achieves critical mass, it will either, 1. become self sustaining, or 2. will be adopted by a permanent sponsor whose work is in line with the educational objectives/outcomes of the FLOSS Desktops for Kids program. Until that time, the OSI will continue to support the ongoing work of adopters as well as promote continued growth.
