Yes- that's a good idea- I shall email Feedback the Radio 4 programme now! I hope others do so too. Radio 4 has such a good audience.

[ubuntu-uk] OSS on BBC Radio 4, 9.30pm Sunday 14th Jan 2007
Hi there, I heard the programme about Open Source Software on BBC Radio 4 9.30pm Sunday 14th January. A really good discussion. I have recently switched over to Ubuntu from Microsoft. It is excellent. We hear so little about any systems other than Windows. Thank you so much. I hope there will be more of this in the future. OSS should be used in all public services and we would be saving a fortune.

Could someone contact an education prograame such as The Learning Curve about the benefits of OSS over MS? There is a school up in NYorks that has gone over to OSS and there was a Govt paper about it I believe.

[ubuntu-uk] OSS on BBC Radio 4, 9.30pm Sunday 14th Jan 2007
Tonight, Sunday 14th January, 2007, at 9.30pm, there is repeat of In Business, a program originally broadcast on 11th January on the subject of OSS: The world's biggest computer companies are being threatened by a host of new start-ups powered by open-source software, strings of inexpensive computers,and 'mash-up' websites which combine information in innovative ways. Although the live voice link tonight made more of the OSS side of the program. There's a direct link to the web site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/inbusiness/inbusiness.shtml where you can download an mp3 podcast (12MB) of the episode. My experience of BBC radio listen again options tells me that you have about week from the first broadcast to get a chance at listen again options. Is someone at the Beeb listening to our comments? -- Hwyl/Regards Llywelyn Owen -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Yes I have just finished listening to the programme- disappointing to hear that in the UK OSS is received with such suspicionbut at least there is a discussion- hope someone who knows more than I do will contact BBC with CD's and offer free demos...etc Caroline On 14/01/07, Llywelyn Owen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tonight, Sunday 14th January, 2007, at 9.30pm, there is repeat of In Business, a program originally broadcast on 11th January on the subject of OSS: The world's biggest computer companies are being threatened by a host of new start-ups powered by open-source software, strings of inexpensive computers,and 'mash-up' websites which combine information in innovative ways.
