You may have seen the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (Becta) advising:- "Schools and colleges should make pupils, teachers and parents aware of the range of free-to-use products (such as office productivity suites) that are available, and how to use them,"
in reports like http://www.informationweek.com/windows/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=205602879&cid=RSSfeed_TechWeb There's also a consultation on "Home Access to Technology" running until Wednesday 2 April at http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/consultations/conDetails.cfm?consultationId=1522 where you may like to suggest that free software is a good route forwards. (Thanks to Christopher Dawkins for informing ALUG.) Are there other related things we could be doing?
