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.
