Just seen this,
Thoughts welcome.
Is GHOP childish and is this necessarily a bad thing?

We've occasionally seen posts from DFEY – Digital Freedom in Education
and Youth - on fsfe-uk and I think the last one mentioned something
about a Google event.
The H Open reports that the Free Software Foundation are applying
Google Highly Open Participation Content to the GNU Generation
community, aimed at people between the ages of 13 and 18.

The comments there criticise the logo, but not for the reason I would.
I thought it just looked a bit childish for 13-18. Am I out of touch?
Anyway, my main questions:
How will DFEY interact with this, if at all?
Some of you may know that I'm not a fan of Google, its no-download
services and business methods. It wouldn't be the first time that
no-download web service software was used to develop the GNU project,
after all - see wiki.list.org. Should we be worried by this apparent
Googlisation of a new FSF project, though?
In general, does Google get an easy ride from FSF contributors?
Curiously,
