| In essence, that optimism stems from the magnitude
| of the savings that open source can bring to

Open source can save schools billions
,----[ Quote ]
| In it he claims civil servants and head teachers
| appear to have no idea what value for money means,
| and calls for 40,000 teaching assistant jobs to go
| and cites as an example of incompetence a case where
| Â35,000 was spent on a Â1,000 photocopier.
|
| His report follows last week's statement from
| Education Secretary Ed Balls that schools could save
| Â2bn by sacking Senior Teachers.
|
| Seems that it's not just me that thinks schools are
| being let down by a bunch of dopes.
|
| [...]
|
| So, oh cloth-eared brethren responsible for value
| for money procurement in schools... heedless of the
| risk of repeating myself here goes:
|
| Open Source software can save schools billions of
| pounds.

Oprah can relax, $1 trillion lawsuit is dismissed
,----[ Quote ]
| Then the National Enquirer reported that a poet named Damon Lloyd Goffe had
| filed an audacious complaint claiming copyright infringement. Only problem
| was that Goffe never registered the copyright on his poems, and more than a
| week before many news outlets were reporting the $1 trillion lawsuit, a judge
| had already dismissed the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
