[edu-challenge] excluded countries

[alessioc]

what's the reason of the exclusion of so many countries from the contest?
I can see that the only allowed countries are:
"United States and the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, India, China, Japan, Korea, Germany, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Mexico, France, Russia, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and Indonesia." (...sorted by which criteria?)
And what about the rest of the world? 
Are these countries eligible only because they are directly related to Sun's products engineering-outsourcing?
