Agreed Richard, Hope you'll also be in attendance then we can chat about this in person. I think business marketing and management, is something both EACOSS and the LUG can and should do, look forward to a good chat with you both.
For example we discussed education, which I think is one area we can really push FOSS. Which reminds me, Reinier/Jon any progress on any of the translation projects? Firefox, Ubuntu, OpenOffice?

This side is also important for the foss community to have a greater influence. 2009/7/13 Wire James < [email protected] > Title: - 'Is FOSS really Free?

So please anyone out there who fancies coming and talking about a favorite Open Source Topic? We'll be happy to provide you with logistical support. i.e. set-up etc. Just like some new faces up there for a change, plus I'd love to watch for a change ;-) There is the challenge? Any takers?
