FYI: I'm on the board of the Champlain Valley League of Women Voters, and they hold monthly presentations on various gov't-related topics. "FOSS in VT Gov't" might be something they'd be interested in, though they wouldn't know that yet. :-) I can bring it up with them at our meeting tomorrow, as a "far-off in the future" idea (6 months or so from now?), aiming for after we've covered a lot of early ground on our side here and are ready to present it to a wider, less technical audience. I think the VT Libertarians would be interested in being aware of this effort, too: many are computer geeks and open-source proponents, and definitely want to reduce the cost of government! I'll forward the info to their list. Bonnie
