Speaking of Open Source in schools, I have just met Iain down at the pub and
they got over 60 MP's to sign in consent/favour of Open Source in education.
I asked him to add you to the mailing list and I'll reminder him again if
necessary. A true difference is truly being made, even though Microsoft is
having lunch with BECTA and politicians, so there's lobbying to fight. And
it's them who have the fat budgets to influence politics... Arghhh...
Best wishes,
Roy
