Waithaka, thanks for your comment. I had a look at A1 Academia, and it looks like a cool project. Feel free to email your ideas to support@gibbonedu.org, and perhaps we can start a dialog from there. Gibbon has a HE module to support students in applying to higher education, but nothing beyond that.

Nicole, it is great to hear of education and open source in the same breath...they are so well aligned in terms of values, benefits, etc, that it makes sense to use one in the other. Not sure if you saw this other opensource.com article on Gibbon (disclosure: I wrote it ; ), but that system definitely aims to use open source to improve education: https://opensource.com/education/14/2/gibbon-project-story. Thanks! Ross.
