Just to say that the Open Schools Alliance and the Open Source Consortium were instrumental in making this happen. Dr John Pugh has been a great help with schools issues too and this combination is at least partly responsible for the BECTA actions in favour of open standards. I would encourage any other FOSS activists in any other countries to seek out informed political allies. Don't expect them to commit 100% of their time to FOSS as they will have a lot more important issues to deal with as well, but a targeted time in specific areas can be disproportionately effective. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications A new approach to assessment for learning www.theINGOTs.org - 01827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
