Dear Fettes College, George Preston, my housemaster in Kimmerghame in 1977-78, Tony Blair (Moredun '71), Richard Lewelling (outgoing president of the Old Fettesian Association), Peter Norvig (Google AI director), Old Fettesians Association with OFAs all over the world, All,

Very glad to see this Tony Blair Institute for Global Change TwitterX post after I sent the emails (below in the QS and QQS) to you, and having blogged about the Old Fettesian Association AGM and our communications in my daily blog on F 26 Sep 2025 here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/09/yellow-star-thistle-centaurea.html too -

As a starting place, while Fettes College's IB diploma opportunities are based in Edinburgh, Scotland at Fettes, and some beginning IB diplomas online are emerging here - https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/dp-online/ - (with the Pamoja Foundation I think), and in 3 languages, English, French and Spanish (https://www.ibo.org/language-policy/), how could Fettes and free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program explore developing the IB diploma OR SIMILAR ONLINE IN all 7159 living languages and with AI and Machine Learning and Large Language Models, which COULD HELP SO many prospective 16-19 year old students' in all 200 countries and IN ALL LIVING LANGUAGES? AI and ML could help tremendously, and potentially reimbursement from Departments of Education in all 200 countries to Fettes and CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki WUaS (where Creative Commons' licensing for CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in ~7 languages presently, says 3 things - 1) anyone can share MIT OCW freely, 2) anyone can adapt it, eg with AI and ML, but 3) non-commercially) ... so these IB diplomas would be free to students' and accessible online from home, thus potentially helping possibly millions of students and all 200 countries worldwide.

How best to proceed further, do you think? Who might be a Fettes College Coordinator for, or Director of, this (e.g. re OFAs' Karen Jones' and George Preston's thinking and possible appointment) - and even regarding the Scottish Parliament? Who might be a Tony Blair Institute for Global Change Coordinator for, or Director of, this - and even with Westminster?

And how might we further communicate about this in an upcoming WUaS Weekly Business Meeting (on Mondays' at 10 am Pacific Time, which may be 1800 Scotland time, but please check your time converters - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university)?

Dear Fettes, (George Preston, my housemaster in Kimmerghame in 1977-78, Peter Norvig, Google AI director, All),

Greetings.

4:15 am Pacific Time in the SF Bay Area is early, but I've registered for this Fettes College Edinburgh Scotland AGM and will seek to join this.

How to communicate further about MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School possibilities - such as online IB diplomas or similar in all ~200 countries and in their main languages, free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric wiki Scotland World University and School, and with being in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program (and also regarding - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 )?

Greetings from free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School WUaS from someone (Scott GK MacLeod K '78) who attended Fettes in 1977-78 from the US, and in seeking to grow WUaS in new ways potentially in partnership with Fettes College in Edinburgh.

Great to see some of you at the Old Fettesian Association Annual General Meeting this morning beginning early! around 4:15 am Pacific Time (from the SF Bay Area). And thanks for the invitation to this OFA AGM meeting. I'm including former PM of Britain Tony Blair M '71 in this email (I think, - if his gmail address is correct), and to explore further what I added to the text chat at the close of the meeting -

"Greetings from the SF Bay Area and MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, and Scott GK MacLeod K ’78 (in a quite dark room) … Here’s the email I sent to Fettes College and all of you yesterday, and in planning to attend this OFA AGM - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/09/yellow-star-thistle-centaurea.html - and regarding exploring developing some extraordinary educational and economic opportunities for Fettes and potentially in collaboration with free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School of which I’m the founder, president and head.

How best to communicate about this further with Fettes? Karen Jones? Richard Lewelling? Helen Harrison, head of school?"

A set of Tweets and LinkedIN posts to further the inquiry and conversation via connecting social media -

How best might we proceed and please see both of the WUaS blogs in these regards too - eg here's the open WUaS Weekly Business Meeting for Monday 9/22/25 (loosely conducted in the manner of unprogrammed Friends NtFs NtQs Quakers) : https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/09/red-tailed-hawk-buteo-jamaicensis-m.html and the 'global university' label - and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university. And how could Fettes' students benefit technology & STEAM-wise from MIT OCW-centric wiki WUaS being in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program e.g. with access. to AI and ML and LLMs?

Time to play a Piobaireachd on my Scottish small pipes (and having played a bit in teh Fettes College pipe band in 1977-78).

All the best,
